Wow! me too from Islamabad.

from what I gathered, you were trying to ask me whether I learnt to type on this site or whether I already knew touch-typing before coming here. to answer your question, yes, I already knew touch-typing before coming here and I was as fast (my initial 10 games isn't much of an indicator since they were a series of 10 back-to-back poor races, off day and all) as I am now. so no this site hasn't helped me to get fast, per say.
