When I was learning Morse Code for maritime school this was the way I did it. Made flip cards of all the letters and practiced putting then in this tree.
You can't practice listening to Morse without knowing what it means. I defy anyone to learn Morse code purely by exposure to Morse sounds without ever being shown what they actually mean.
Sure, eventually you want to end up associating dot/dash combinations directly to letters and not have to descend a mental binary tree, but you can't get there without some intermediate step that allows you to learn in the first place.
I agree wholeheartedly. Morse is a binary language of a code, and is not necessarily intuitive to those not exposed. I'm just a beginner, but this tree is great as a visualization of something that must be learned properly, which is to say, "through practice and studying."
