How to remember 2
- It sounds like di-di-dah-dah-dah. Say it out loud as you listen, and learn the rhythm rather than counting dots and dashes.
- 2 has 5 signals: 2 dots and 3 dashes. It takes 15 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: 2 is 2 dots followed by 3 dashes.
- Once you know the pattern, you can work out every number without memorising a table.
