Find Out How To Learn Morse Code

By Kari Ratliff


Although many people are starting to learn Morse code, just for the experience, it is something which is still used in this day and age. Not many people think that you can make use of this code, especially with the invention of more advanced equipment. However, sometimes things like cell phones don't do a good enough job.

There are times where people will be required to learn the language. This could be where they operate a search and rescue organization. Cell phones may be advanced, but there are some places where it is too far for the signal to reach and communication is not possible. This is where Morse code is useful.

In order to understand what is going on with this language you have to listen very carefully. The two main signals to listen out for are the dot and the dash. The dot is the shorter beep and the dash is the longer beep. It is not a complicated language to learn like French or Japanese so most people will be able to get the hang of it very quickly.

It may be best to start by writing down the letters of the alphabet and then you will list the translation of the dots and dashes next to the letters. Morse code is composed of dots and dashes and these may seem complicated at first, but with a little practice you will find it easy enough to get the hang of. It is a good idea practicing with a friend and it can be fun to get to know the language this way as well.

There are different ways of learning. Some people are able to learn just by looking at their work and others need to write down the content in order to take in the information. In a case like this, it may be better to write the letter, accompanied with the dashes and dots. Slowly, you can begin making up words, and then sentences as you begin to practice.

Most people go slowly with this language in the beginning. It is just like learning any other language, except it is not as difficult because you don't have to worry as much with the pronunciation or whether something is masculine or feminine. If you rush the learning progress and leave out certain steps that you think you may not need, you will probably find that you don't know everything and you will have to go over certain sections again.

It may not be essential to use a mobile phone. After all, nobody even knew what mobile phones were 160 years ago when the language was invented. There are many ways to communicate in this way. You can even learn to blink in the code, which can be fun to do.

To be able to learn Morse code in the most effective way, you should have a definite plan. There are programs that have been devised for people who want to progress with this. There are also auditory programs which are helpful because they will show you how it is supposed to sound and some people prefer to learn in this fashion. You have to decide which is the best way for you to learn, because everyone is different. There are lots of learning techniques out there, but not everyone will benefit from the same method.
