What is Morse
Morse code is a binary method of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks that can be directly understood by a trained listener or observer without special equipment.
Basic Morse Code encodes the 26 letter latin alphabet, some extra Latin letters, the Arabic numerals and a small set of punctuation and procedural signals as standardized sequences of short and long signals called "dots" and "dashes" or "dits" and "dahs". Because many non-English natural languages use more than the 26 Roman letters, extensions to the Morse alphabet exist for those languages.

Cheat Sheet
While listening to morse code. Move down and to the right every time you hear a DIT (a dot). Move down and to the left every time you hear a DAH (a dash). The key to learning the code is hearing it and comprehending it while you hear it. The only way to get there is to practice 10 minutes a day.
Listen to code while tracing out this chart and you will find yourself writing down the letters in no time at all without the aid of the chart. The chart brings repetition together with recognition, which you don't get from any other type of code practice aid.
