Morse code is cool, and you should learn it! Using verbal mnemonics (magic memory words), I learned the basics of morse code in about 2 hours, and if you really focus, I'm confident you could learn it faster.
Thanks for watching!

I was a Morse code operator for the Air Force back in the late 90’s.
When I was learning the code my instructors told us Morse Code was invented by Samuel as a way to communicate with his fiancé without her dad knowing what they were saying as the dad chaperoned them while dating. He gave her the answer key and he would tap his finger in her hand and the dad was none the wiser.
It may not be true but, the story seems pretty cool.
The story I heard is that while he was away on a business trip, he received a letter on horseback that his wife was extremely ill. By the time he arrived to her side, she was already dead and buried.

I’m an old Ham radio operator. Learned code many years ago. It’s like a language. The faster you copy, you can pick up whole words, short sentences. I was up towards 40 WPM. I learned it from my grandpa. When I was little he tap out code with his ring on his car steering wheel. This went on for years. That’s how I learned it. I’ve put it down a few times in my life, then picked it right back up. I’m due to use it again. I can tell you the faster you go, the easier it gets.

To everyone here trying to learn morse code.
Im a 14 year old kid learn and memorise morse. Here is a bit of a tip.(Opinion)
It is better to try to memorise the sound as that would be way faster and tryna learn dits and dahs would be counter productive.
A good website to start with is lcwo.net
It has the koche method and much more to help improve your ability.
You should start with your target goal as what you want to achieve.(If you want 20wpm dont start with 10wpm,just egin with your goal)
Hope this helped.Good luck.
You are spot on with the Sound recognition - the only Real way to go!
Peace.
Im 14yo too and i started to learn morse code yesterday and i have learnt most of it
It's far better than looking at images or remembering trees of letters! There is a reason why the Koch method has been used for decades. If you really want to learn Morse, you should completely disregard this video.
oh hey im 14 too, thanks for the tip
There's a difference between learning Morse Code and memorizing it. It's well known among ham radio operators that memorizing them actually hurts your ability to "learn" it. You need to learn to recognize the sound. If I say ". _" you instantly hear "A". By memorizing alone, you won't be able to achieve any speed. I'm not a big key pounder but this is what my friends that are say.
It took me about two months to learn enough Morse code to pass my novice amateur radio license test by listening to Morse code practice tapes, when it was a requirement for the license. In order to pass the test I had to listen to Morse code at 5 words per minute and answer 7 mulitple choice questions about the message correctly. At that point I was still missing a lot even at 5 words per minute. It takes a lot of practice to get up to 13 and then twenty words per minute. The interesting thing about Morse code over radio is that you can get a message through in conditions that would make voice communication impossible, sort of like principle that allows people to send text messages sometimes when cell networks are overloaded and voice calls get dropped. Morse code seems kind of anachronistic today, but it is still fun to know how to use it and lots of radio amateurs and others still do.

Good for you, I'm a licensed radio amateur and part of the requirement for my licence was a morse test at 12 words a min. I still use it, it's great fun. To learn it to any decent competency you will eventually hear it like music and not particularly think about it, like another language. Thank you for mentioning Alfred Vail and inspiring the use of the code.

Some kids near me learnt morsecode and cheated on their GCSE’s and only got found out because I teacher saw them blinking to each other
The name of the App is Morsekey for Apple
...."big enough spaces between the letters" 9.44 for 'perfect morse' 3 dots are the equivalent time length of one Dash, with one dash space between characters.
Best way to learn morse , PATTERN RECOGNITION i.e. by SOUND only. Don't confuse or slow the process down by hearing and equating that noise to something that you have previously noted down, and then having to translate that into a morse derived symbol, - COUNTER PRODUCTIVE !
I was taught Morse whilst in the R.A.F. (back in the day), Method :- PATTERN RECOGNITION. Learn, by sound FIVE characters at a time, A,B,C,D,E. Once locked in, learn the next Five characters. When locked in, combine them with the First five characters and test yourself out on the Ten, Go forward with the same routine until you have completed the alphabet. Once you have completed this routine, You will actually be working at a basic natural speed of approximately 5 - 6 words a minute, speeds rated on the basis of 5 characters equate to 1 word. Numbers are much easier to learn - more dits and dah's per character... Morse has a musicality to it that can be well illustrated by the text 'Best Bent Wire'. If you get to a point where you can vocalise the sounds the morse characters ;-
Dah, di, di, dit, dit, di, di, dit, dah, --
Dah di, di, dit, dit, dah, dit, dah, --- Di, dah, dah, di, dit, di, dah, dit, dit, (best bent wire) then musically you can round the sounds off with DAH DI DI DIT DIT DIT DIT ! Nonsense end but rythmically musical !
When you have it all locked in, if you wish to increase your receiving speeds , then I suggest you dig out morse training lessons on TH-cam, stacks of them to go at.
The Pattern recognition system comes into its OWN, with the reception of fast morse. My Personal best 33 - 33 WPM. after that my lugs let me down, could no longer differentiate.
Finally, I would say that having a morse key/buzzer to hand whilst learning, will be very beneficial to the learning process.
Hope this helps
Stay Safe, All.
Peace.
Thank you for the advice!Hope you have a great day
Agreed. I'm learning it now. Best info I've heard is learn how the characters sound, no more. Charts and pnemonics involve too many mental gymnastics. Good luck copying 20wpm by trying to convert the sound in what you saw on a chart. I'm still struggling because I'm a very visual learner, but slowly I'm associating the sounds automatically as characters.
I looked the smallest app I can find and installed that. I'm still at k, m, r, and I have the setting at 12 wpm. Should I go through all of the lessons at that speed and then slowly increase speed? Or should I just go all out at 20 wpm for k, m and then only go add a letter after getting 90% accuracy at that?
Me: *tap tap tap*
Person: WHAT? YOUR GONNA KILL MY DOG!?
you're*
wrong wrong wrong. Learn the sound, A is ditdah B is dahdididit C is dahdidahdit. Its not about memory its about reflex
I agree with you, Todd. With the whole Morse resurgence a lot of people think it's just about dots and dashes following each other without any notion of spacing or rhythm. People write ".-.---.--.." thinking that, as is, it would mean something. For us in the ham radio community it is a very different experience. You might know all the dots and dashes of the letters front to back, but if you don't know how to properly time your sending (he's just using an app with two buttons) or how to properly listen to Morse, it is completely useless. Now, if he just wants to learn it because it's cool, good for him.
@@Rolleifluxo I don't know anything about Morse code, but my theory before I watched this video was that it has to do with timing, reminds me of time signatures in music. Am I along the right lines?
@@harmondraws I think so like for blinking like for dot will be two blink I unit apart
About both. Kinda
@Harmon Dushane yeah
Stephen, Hi,
I was wondering, what app did you used to type in the morse code? I can't seem to find it.
Same
Everyone learns differently. To say that it is a challenge is an understatement but that is also its fun. I have tried a number of different approaches. As long as you enjoy doing it then you will keep trying to improve. For me I soon realised that being able to hear the sound was more important than sending. But instead of visualising I had to cut out a path that went direct from hearing the sound to saying the letter (called Instant Character Recognition). So upping the speed so I could only hear the sound pattern (but NOT could the dots or dashes or try to 'see' the pattern) was key for me. Nowdays we have computers that can teach and provide the practice we need. But the recommended sequence of learning the letters is all wrong IMO. However that binary tree you started with is based on the frequency distribution of the most popular letters (see zipf's law). So learning just 13 letters I was amazed to discover allowed me to send & receive 8,000 words. Fortunately there are some great trainers around & I am lucky now to have found myself part of a small group being trained by a great teacher. Enjoy the journey.
Is this what we're doing? During quarintine?
Yes 😅
Yep, this is what we're doing.
I'm learning Morse Code. I think the verbal mnemonics is better for sending morse codes but for receiving, the step one is better since you cannot hear the 'letters'. You need to learn to send and receive. Sending is quite easy but I'm having difficulty receiving. 😊
It's easy to remember the alphabet and send..but receiving and understanding is a little more difficult

I was an Army linguist back in the day. A bunch of my buddies at Fort Devens were learning Morse as part of official training. We called them "Ditty Bops" because they were always bopping around making those dit dah sounds while practicing with eachother. Good times. #sempervigilis #asalives 👍
U r great!! That's the end message
THANK YOUU
The Koch method actully prompt to learn letter sounds at high speed right from the begining. You learn letters at 25wpm right from the start. It is really difficult to go from 5 to 20wpm. If you learn how letter sounds like at high speed, you will have an easyer time to master higher speed CW listening and transmitting.
Koch, not Kosh.

@@lakshmibala2177 Oh shit sorry y'all I didn't read the comments until now. The app is called MorseMania, it's for android
I just came across your channel. You deserve a lot more recognition. Keep up :)
Hlo
I'm a Radio Ham and learning morse. Sorry but the method here is one of the worst if you want to use morse. Okay it will teach you the alphabet and thats great but try interpreting code sent at 25 words per minute. You cannot write it down, it has to be instant recognition in your head, no thinking of dots and dashes and apples or other things. For example the word cat - dahdidahdit-didah-dah. Hearing that you immediately say to yourself "cat" NOT "c-a-t, oh thats cat". Look up the Koch-Farnsworth method. There are apps on your phone to help. You learn by listening at the correct speed for each character (say 20wpm) but you leave longer spaces so the effective speed is around 12 - 15wpm and you gradually speed up until both speeds are the same and you just know what is being sent without interpretation. A bit like when heaing your mother tongue, you don't spell out each word in you head and then read them back. You hear a word and instantly know the meaning.
Its too bad its not on the test any longer. Its a good skill to have, and opens up the world of communication... Literally.
Michael's video really kick-started a whole new wave of morse coders, because I also went and learned because of him. I used the Google Keyboard on my phone plus a site suggested by it and Michael. It uses figure mnemonics, which isn't the best of ideas, since Morse Code is meant to be heard and learned by sound, with no visual reference. There are also specialized sites that offer interactive lessons. We should not this revival go away.
The final message is:

Thank you for your work, I've had several strokes. Once I couldn't understand English. Once could barely crawl with trembling legs. Someone had to get behind me to hold my back to guide me places. Once heard of a man who wished he had learned Morse to be able to communicate with his father in his last years, his father seemed to know Morse but he didn't. I knew a woman who had a stroke and couldn't move ar all and I happened to find out she could move one hand. We communicated by squeezes, this is very like an old sci-fi show where someone found a man could move a finger, I should Morse code. Sometimes an RiDL radio has Morse. I think someone claims what could Morse like in some planet. I don't remember where, another man his RDL radio got Morse on a piece of copper pipe tens of miles off. Hope you can read this I don't see well among having all my strokes. Again thank you, years way back I suspect my father knew it, he once showed me a couple but it never went on.

What app did you use to make the Moree code sounds?
Morse key
On VSauce, he used word stress as his basic mnemonic principle. It apparently worked for him, but I saw lots of problems with his stresses, not least of which is that almost every word has a stressed syllable, and four Morse letters don't have any dashes/dahs to represent with a stressed syllable. Instead of stress, I chose short vs. long vowels. For example, R (._.) is represented by "Ramona", and B (_...) is "babysitter". I don't have one yet for X, but I haven't needed it yet. On the other hand, it seems that learning the letters just by listening at speed is the best way, using Koch's method or the even better Farnsworth method.

You said "U R GREAT "at the end of the video right ?! 😂 that was really fun
0:08 Me: You little bit-
N I C E
Me: phew, thought you were gonna spell out something else.
What app do you use to make the sounds? Sorry I don't know how to phrase it
If you are a touch typist... do it at the keyboard.. You can just recognize a code, hit a key, and start listening / concentrating on the next code. Writing it down is a shift between listening and writing that will cost you speed. Also, use the same finger for dots and dashes.. Not back and forth between 1st and 2nd finger.. It will help you when you get to an actual telegraph key.
Well done vid though! :)
The code at the end is .._ ._. __. ._. . ._ _
