I'm assuming the layout has been optimised for English. My keyboard (at home) is based on the QWERTZ layout. However I am a fluent typer on the QWERTY layout too.
Yes, the original Dvorak design was optimized for English, but there are variances on the design for other languages that follow the same principles. If you do re-train yourself, I would be interested to know what kind of observations you come up with. Thanks.
I tried a learning program via some site. And WOW I love how the common keys are the homekeys. After an hour or so - I could almost perfectly touchtype words and sentences that are based on them.
One thing that amazed me is the minimised movement of your fingers when you use this layout. I really hope this layout becomes mainstream and widely accepted in the near future.
What do you think of the Dvorak keyboard layout?

I could try the layout - looks quite interesting.

Thanks for introducing it to me.
