It’s actually quite simple. I always thought it was difficult and you’d have to learn from a code sheet, but I found an app which teaches you and you actually just recognise the sounds like you’d recognise any other sound. You generally don’t even need to decode it- you just get used to what a letter sounds like. I’ve been learning since Saturday and can already key my name out.

    There’s a site called “morsle” which has a daily test (like Wordle, and all the other daily games that are going around) where it starts out playing you a 5 letter word in Morse code and you can replay it a bunch of times and every time you do it slows down the sound a bit, starting at 40 words per minute. It’s amazing how quickly you can learn to discern one sound from another. I only found it a day or so ago but I am finding it’s coming quite quickly to me. It feels almost like remembering a short musical riff or drum beat. It’s intriguing.

        You’re welcome! I’m stoked that you’re enjoying it. I was having fun but I like spreadsheets so… I usually temper my expectations when making a recommendation.

        Hope you get where you want to be with it quickly :)
