Hear the whole character
Characters play with their normal internal rhythm. Slower effective speed comes from extra space, not stretched dits and dahs.
A practice path you can return to
Learn Morse code through short listening sessions
Choose an honest starting point, listen at a clear character speed, answer from memory and revisit difficult sounds over time. Your plan and review dates stay in this browser.
Local listening practice
Your Morse practice
Run a five-, ten- or fifteen-prompt session. Nothing plays until you press Play, and every revealed answer includes the written Morse pattern.
Progress, review dates and practice settings are stored only in this browser. Translation messages are never added to that record.
How the review schedule works
A correct character moves through suggested intervals of 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days. An error is due immediately and returns once near the end of the current session. This transparent schedule is a lightweight reminder, not a prediction of memory or an optimal formula.
A practice path you can return to
Build recognition instead of memorizing a chart
Morse-specific evidence is limited, so this path combines established training practice with broader findings on active recall and spaced review. Settings stay adjustable and progress is never treated as proof of proficiency.
Expand a small set
Start with a few contrasting sounds, keep earlier characters in the mix and select any later set when your experience justifies it.
Retrieve, then reveal
Type what you heard before the answer appears. Immediate written feedback and replay make each error useful.
Return without pressure
Short sessions bring due and difficult characters forward. There are no streaks, leaderboards or promises of a fixed learning time.
1 : 3 : 7
Keep the rhythm; adjust the spacing
International Morse uses stable 1:3:7 proportions. Farnsworth practice keeps characters crisp while giving more time between them, then lets you narrow that space gradually.
- Dit: 1 sound unit; dah: 3 sound units.
- Silence inside a character: 1 unit.
- Standard silence between characters: 3 units.
- Standard silence between words: 7 units.
- Lower effective WPM adds space between characters and words only.
Technical source
What this learning path is based on
The code and timing come from the ITU recommendation. Training choices draw on ARRL and CW Academy practice plus research on retrieval and spacing; none establishes one universal Morse curriculum.
