Sooo...now I'm learning Morse. It's easier than I thought, depending on how you choose to learn it. I'm using this:
http://morsecode.scphillips.com/jtranslator.html
And what I've found is throw in a couple words with letters that are easy or that I already know....most people know "SOS", so there's two letters to start, plus T is - and E is . which are easy to add.
So I start with TOTE. (at 10wpm, it's actually easier imho than 5)
Once I can hear the E and the T, I add a letter...R is .-. like an engine rrRRRrrevving, now I can hear
OTTER ROTE TORE
Then add a GEEEee --. or maybe ENNNn -. which is easier since it's only two signals
NOTE RENT ROTTEN
or GROTTO GORGE
And then start stacking them together in the translator like this, adding one letter different at a time
TOOT OTTO TOTE TEET ROTE TORE OTTER RENT ROTTEN TORRENT GROTTO GORGE
And so on . That's six letters, and I haven't even used S ... yet.
Of course, I lose the long line above after the first few words, but then that's why it's practice. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, yet.
A good one to hear the spacing between letters is ESSENCE . ... ... . -. -.-. .
