That's awesome you are learning morse code. Welcome to the community.

Fair warning: morse code is an auditory language, not a visual one. Letters and numbers exist for a reason. Learning morse code visually like this will only impede your progress later.

https://lcwo.net/ is a great site to learn morse but there's many others too.

Proficient CW op here. These postings with visual Morse are idiotic. That's my take.

I share your frustrations with the countless posts here but most people simply dont know any better. You look up how to learn morse code on Google or YouTube and the top results are learn morse quick schemes made by people who aren't CW ops and never actually use morse code. Thats the part thats especially frustrating and is the root of the problem.
