Or, more precisely,


For the French keyboard layout (Windows 7). Have a friend who's in need
of some kind of typing tutor app. The challenge (in more ways than
one...) is he's French.

I've already found the following but only the first one is an app. The
rest are "web apps." If you have a real gem for this particular
situation, I'd appreciate it.

This app has the option you want (has lots of language/keyboard options)
- dunno if it will work on Win 7 though. I've used it and like it.

Runs fine on my Win7 Pro and mapped w/o problems to the French layout.
I'll send this along w/the others I'd found and post back if he has any
