If you don't like this behavior then then I can recommend using a modified US-International layout where those keys are only dead if AltGr is held down [1]. Alternatively, you can use a version where AltGr acts as the modifier [2].

The latter is what I use since I only need it for Swedish special characters (åäö) which I get by typing AltGr+W, AltGr+Q, and AltGr+P.

That's how I learned to touch type as well. Or actually, I learned to touch type before I got blank key caps but I still had a bad habit of looking down at my keyboard to make sure that the letters were where I thought they were, and getting blank keycaps got rid of that bad habit in like a week. The only issue was learning all the symbol keys which took a little while.

It's the same here in Sweden. We have degrees called Högskoleingenjör (which is three years) and Civilingenjör (which is five years) that put more focus on practical and industry-relevant courses than the more science-focused Bachelor of Science and Master of Science programs do.
