How to Learn Morse Code
Since Samuel Morse and his assistant Alfred Vail developed Morse code, learning Morse code has often seemed difficult, but it's not. Although Morse code is primarily known for its use in military and emergency communications, it was originally designed to transmit messages through electrical signals. Nowadays, many people learn Morse code simply for fun or to send a secret message to their friends.
If you are someone who also want to learn Morse code, you can simply start by studying the Morse alphabet. Then, like learning any other language, listening to Morse code audio is very helpful. Finally, always, having a Morse translator like this to convert text into Morse code can help a lot.
And, of course, if learning isn't for you, you can always use the Morse Code Translator to translate English into dots and dashes.
