Coming back to BB's OP: Download a copy of the Code and learn the letters one by one, speaking or tapping out their sounds.

If you intend to use Morse code for transmission by radio, it will be useful to purchase a Morse code Key (Tapper) and a low voltage tone generator who's loudspeaker feed is interrupted by the Morse Key.

The above setup will allow you to learn the sound pattern of each letter , and to keep on repeating until you know them parrot-fashion. For example DAH-DIT-DAH-DAH = the letter Y

The harder part of the learning is the hearing part. It takes a lot longer to be able to hear the coded letters and to translate them back into a normal alphabetical stream. The good news is that there are now inexpensive electronic code readers and free of charge Apps for smartphones available that are capable of translating fairly high speed Morse.

I have it on my tablet and i know there is practice on you tube, i was considering learning it while i sleep a method i do like as it takes no effort that is just listen or let it run while you sleep i need sonme headphones i think so as i do not keep the house up.
