If you ever wanted to learn an outdated language it's your lucky day.

In fact, this is a rather shitty way to learn Morse code.

I have NEVER seen an 'aid' for learning this language that was at all helpful. It's always - at best - useless. At worst, MORE confusing.

+1 for showing a good way of learning it, rather than the bullshit that is the dots and dashes fitted to the shape of letters.

As a CS major I remember programming a Morse code binary tree. Basically going left (dots) are 0 and going right (dashes) are 1.

Pay attention to the lines, they are either dots or dashes. So find the chara you want, let's say "J", then follow the lines from start to J

sunyudai

Start->E->A->W->J is the path, so looking at the connecting lines for that path, they go: .--- and sure enough, "J" is di-dah-dah-dah
