Listen to samples of Morse Code at slow speeds first, then progressively speed up the playback. Note that a transmission is essentially characterized by long and short beeps, as well as spaces in between. Each letter forms by a system of dots and dashes, or "di's" and "dah's," with a fixed space of time set between each letter and word. Messages are usually sent at fixed time intervals and are measured by words per minute.
Study a visual chart of the Morse Code alphabet and memorize it. Writing down the alphabetic letters in one column and the Morse Code translation in the other could help instill the Morse Code alphabet in your memory. Also, write down sentences using Morse Code as practice.
Execute Morse Code by sounding it out. Use a ham radio, a flashlight, or something as simple as tapping Morse Code with a piano key or a pen against the table. Have a friend skilled in Morse Code interpret your message and have him or her give constructive advice for improvements.
Send Morse Code messages often, increasing your speed as you become more skilled. Once you have the hang of Morse Code, teach others such as kids and family members how to communicate with Morse Code too.
