Some people can, some can't. I tried for 29 years and finally found
out that I could not learn by listening.

I'm very out of practice now, but thanks to learning with Code Quick
and "upgrading" wih Jerry Zilliack's 35pwm words tape I was able to
copy 35WPM in my head.

Yep, Morse Code is an Alphabet.Check with a Boy Scouts club or an
Amateur Radio club or CB radio club near you.See can you get a little
plastic card (you will need a practice key too and something to hook it
up to that makes the audible sounds) that has the Morse Code on
there.Alternativley, I think) you can look up the Morse Code on the
internet and practice with your computer keyboard.Sometimes, if you put
a radio near your keyboard and turn up the sound and tune to an empty
space between stations, you can hear the dits and dahs.I know it works
with my WebTV.

If you learn wrong first (e.g. Boy Scouts) it's much more difficult to
learn by sound.

In my case it was what is now clasified as a learning disability.

However Code Quick works for everyone.

I taught myself when I was 12. Found code characters in dictionary.
Took a few weeks. Got a code oscillator. Sent to myself. Takes a
little regular discipline and practice. It's not the impossible task
that today's ham radio wannabees make it out to be.
