Learn how to translate Morse code in one minute!
The diagram on this page is designed to help you translate Morse code quickly and easily.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:


•Listen to the Morse code message. Each letter of each word is made up of a different pattern
of dots (short beep or ‘DIT’) and dashes (long beep or ‘DAH’).
•Notice how each letter in the word is separated by a slightly longer pause which will help you
separate the individual letters.

FOR EACH LETTER:


•Place your pencil where it says START and listen.
•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).
•Carry on until you get to the letter.

HERE’S AN EXAMPLE:
•You hear DAH DIT DIT which is a dash then dot then dot.
•You start at START and hear a DAH then move down and left to the T and then you hear
a DIT so you move down and RIGHT to the N and then you hear another DIT so you move
DOWN and RIGHT again and land on the D.
•You then write down the letter D and jump back to START waiting for your next letter.

You might need to have a few goes to practice hearing each letter separately but you’ll be
surprised how easy it is once you’ve got going!
