mvMorseCode is designed to help you quickly learn the International morse code letters and numbers and tests you on your knowledge of morse code until you get them all correct.

The mv in mvMorseCode represents 'Mnemonic Visual' -- the practice of helping your memory remember items by association with a visual or graphic image that is easier to remember.

The hint provided for each morse code in this program is such a mnemonic aid. The hint word uses 1-2 letter syllables to represent a dih , while 3 or more letters indicate a dah. Thus, a'ground represents di-dah for the letter 'A'. Drawings help reinforce the association, particularly when starting to learn.

The character codes are played at a speed corresponding to 12 words per minute with standard spacing and intervals. Use the Test mode to test your morse code progress--try it in both send and receive mode. When you return to Tutorial mode, you can display only the characters that you still do not know. This method has been successfully used to teach Navy lookouts, Boy Scouts and sailors. Try it...you should be pleasantly surprised.
