How to remember 1
- It sounds like di-dah-dah-dah-dah. Say it out loud as you listen, and learn the rhythm rather than counting dots and dashes.
- 1 has 5 signals: 1 dot and 4 dashes. It takes 17 units of time to send, where a dot is one unit.
- All numbers in Morse code have five signals. 1 to 5 begin with dots and end with dashes: 1 is 1 dot followed by 4 dashes.
- Once you know the pattern, you can work out every number without memorising a table.
