as far as getting used to typing speed goes, i really don't think you need to stress about it or do any specific "training". you will very quickly adjust. if you really want to get good, i recommend just chatting in discord, lol. it will speed you up quickly.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Yeah, I concur. I got used to my Ergodox just by using it. I did a bit of the training that comes with it, but use was where I learned.
I'm not sure about 1. 2. Monkeytype has a punctuation and numbers mode them at random. Maybe check that out :)
Good luck with your journey
