I wouldn't recommend learning Morse code this way. Thinking of Morse code as dots and dashes only increases brain processing power which in a scenario where you would actually use it isn't gonna work. The best way is to memorize the sounds. Once you practice enough your brain will instantly decode the letter for you. If you want an easy way to learn I recommend getting an app called "Morse machine" it plays a sound and you tap the letter. I am currently learning Morse code and at this point I have it all memorized but my problem is being able to write it down on paper fast enough. I still have to focus a bit too much on decoding the letters that I cannot focus on writing down the letter
If your aim is to copy morse code by sound (i.e. not light flashes or written), your method is far from effective. Don't write dots and dashes on paper and forget about memory aids (like mustaches, banjos etc), these are distracting, confusing and completely useless. JUST LISTEN to the code as often as you can. Start with a few letters and you will memorise them eventually. Memory aids and writing on paper only distracts and adds unnecessary steps that your brain has to take. It also puts the emphasis on visual input rather than audio. By the way, your morse writing (audio) is flawed: the dits are too short and the spacings are not always right (the 'RI' in the secret word at the end was given as one character, instead of two). The reason for this is most likely the lack of LISTENING to proper morse code. Finally, there is no way that you achieved your test scores (especially the audio test at 7:35) by just 25 minutes of studying. Totally unrealistic! Nevertheless, I appreciate your interest in the code and I hope that you will learn it the proper way and that I will meet you on the amateur radio bands, some day. Greetings from HA7RJA
There are several learning styles audio where you listen visual where you see tactical or your hands on our school system is where you just sit there and listen if you take notes you're actually doing some tactical hands-on that's why our educational system is messed up kids and special ed just have a different learning style but the way that you taught this was great cuz it went over the audio part the visual part and also pictures recognition and you actually tactically used your skills by writing it down so you went over all the learning styles to absorb as much information as possible Great video really appreciate it thank you
How long it take to learn? LOL And you can create your own words like "A = A-XM (X for . And M for -) and B = B-MXXX" If you are comfortable with this because everyone thinks different and for someone is easy this way for someone it can be so hard.
There are lots of BAD ways to learn Morse code. This is probably at the top of the BAD list. If you have a serious desire to learn Morse code, don't waste your time on this. You will pick up all the bad habits that you will eventually have to break if you ever want to be proficient. When you begin learning code you should focus on hearing the entire character and then identifying the letter. Not hearing individual dots and dashes, remembering whether to go right or left on some useless graph, and then somehow making the connection to what letter you just heard. There should only be one mental step after hearing the sound of a letter; identifying the letter. Additionally, the timing of the elements (dots and dashes) in the letters sent in this video is terrible. If you use this video as an example, you will learn poor timing and will be a poor sender. The letter A is didah; he sends dit dah, which is E T and not the letter A. Poor timing. Before you dive into trying this method, read the comments below from experienced people do advise against it, and then count the thumbs up they got on their comments.
