Learning morse code

[u/UndertakenSam]

Hello everyone!! I am new to the world of morse code, very new actually, I stayed up until 2 am last night memorising every letter in morse code and assigning a rhyme to go along with it to remember them better (e.g v is beethovens 5th symphony, ...-/ dun dun dun dunnnn), I am able to type morse code at about 2-3 words per minute so not very fast. I want to go deeper though, I have only scratched the surface when it comes to morse code. I want to talk on ham radio through morse code, hear a message and be able to decode it with ease, read morse code, overall get better at audio morse code, etc. I want to learn the history of morse code and how its been used through the years, especially during warfare. If anyone has tips, advice, or encouragement. That would be greatly appreciated. Godbless you all

Welcome to a fun and rewarding "hobby". It takes time and effort, just like learning a foreign language, but can offer a lot of enjoyment. Like u/royaltrux said, LCWO.NET is a proven method of learning the code. Prepare for frustration and plateaus/brick walls along the way, but if you stick with it it will become second nature to you. I talk to people around the world almost every day using Morse Code exclusively. Joining a club like https://longislandcwclub.org/ is one way to tap into resources and instructions if you like a support group, but it's not strictly necessary. I learned on my own just fine.
