How can I learn Dvorak fast?
I think the best way to learn it is to do some of the typing tutor software they recommend on that site. It’s better to just learn a few letters at a time rather than just starting to use it normally. With just a few letters, you can write a lot of common words and once you learn those it goes much faster.
Is Dvorak better for typing?

By the end of the study their Dvorak speeds were 74 percent faster than their qwerty speeds, and their accuracies had increased by 68 percent.
Can you learn Dvorak and QWERTY?
Yes, it’s completely possible to be fluent in both Dvorak and Qwerty, but you have to specifically work at it to develop the dual fluency. When I began to learn Dvorak it initially crippled me in Qwerty, so I wasn’t able to type easily in either layout.

Is it worth switching from QWERTY?
If you do decide to switch then make a complete break from qwerty. At a work where I answered 100+ emails a day, I found that my hands hurt a lot less after switching to dvorak. It causes less strain on the hand, in other words. Trying to switch is totally worth it.
