How to Learn Morse Code Fast – Ultra Simple Guide

Very good to everyone. Do you want learn morse from the simplest way there is? Well, I'm sure that I haven't been the first person to come up with this "revolutionary" idea to learn Morse, but I've been searching the Internet for a while and haven't found anything similar, so I'll dedicate this post to showing my ultra simple method to learn morse code quickly and efficiently.

The thing is that I wanted to learn Morse code, simply as a personal challenge, but I saw that everywhere Morse Code is structured so that the English alphabet does not see its organization altered.

The idea I see everywhere is to memorize this table.

The fact of having to learn that table, letter by letter and in such a chaotic manner, was not appealing to me, so I rearranged it numerically, much simpler.

The method – Learn Morse in a simple way

In Morse Code, whatever you use to represent the dash (─) must be three times longer than the period (•).

Knowing that the spot (•) is equivalent to the unit and the script (─) has a value of three units, it occurred to me to structure the code from the letter with the lowest value to the letter with the highest value.

Why the fuck do you want to memorize a table of letters and dots that you'll forget next week?

Better memorize the lyrics of your entire life but in a different order! This way, what you achieve is that instead of memorizing the dots or lines, you memorize a new organization for the alphabet. It takes 30 minutes at most and once this is achieved you can mentally look up the equivalent of each letter in Morse Code.

Example: I know that the first five letters of this alphabet are {E, T, I, A, N}, and that the first five numbers that I can make with 1 and 3 are {1, 3, 11, 13, 31 }, so I can know that the letter N is a 3 and a 1, which is equivalent to a hyphen (─) and a period (•), in short: ─ •


Letters in Morse Code

Below I will attach the table I created to create this Letter-Value relationship.

In this way the alphabet is ordered as follows:

{E, T, I, A, N, M, S, U, R, W, D, K, G, O, H, V, F, or, l, to, P, J, B, X, C, Y, Z, Q}


Memorize Morse Code however you prefer

You can even organize it by categories, having letters of one digit, others of two, others of three, and the rest of four. This way, once you memorize the alphabet, you can move faster knowing that E is one dot, I is two dots, S is three dots, and H is four dots.


How to write SOS in Morse Code?

In your brain you should have already memorized that the letter S corresponds to the smallest three-digit number (111), so it is • • •, and also, if you review the alphabet you will see that O is one place before H, being H the smallest four-digit number (1111). By that logic, the O has the value of the largest three-digit number (333), which is ─ ─ ─.

S.O.S. = • • • ─ ─ ─ • • •

Other rules for learning Morse Code

Furthermore, Morse nomenclature requires Between each letter, leave the duration of a hyphen as a space, and between each word the space must correspond to the duration of a hyphen and a period.
