Morse code mnemonicsFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Because associating letters and numbers with audible "dits" and "dahs" can be difficult, many people have developed mnemonics to help remember the Morse code equivalent of characters. Many different mnemonics can be created for the same subject matter and no one mnemonic is the definitive way to learn Morse code.

[edit]Visual Mnemonic
[edit]Slavic languagesIn the Czech language, the mnemonic device to remember Morse codes lies in remembering words that begin with each appropriate letter and has so called long vowel (i.e. á é í ó ú ý) for every dash and short vowel (a e i o u y) for every dot. Additionally, some other theme-related sets of words have been thought out as Czech folklore. | Letter | Morse Code | Czech word | Translation | Alternative (folklore) | Translation |
