*ZuIu is written as Z to avoid confusion 

 with the number 2. 



**Zero is written as to avoid confusion with 

 the letter O. 



Study and Practice 



If you have any trouble learning code, the 

 following method may be helpful. Go through 

 the three groupings of short, medium, and long 

 sounds with their accompanying practice words. 

 Make up words of your own if you wish further 

 practice. Speak the practice words in code. 

 Say "Tee: DAH dit dit; Mine: DAH-DAH di-dit 

 DAH-dit dit." 



If you can speak words rapidly and distinctly 

 in code, you'll have an easy time of it when you 

 learn to receive code, because the spoken code 

 and transmitted code sounds are similar. Practice 

 the figures in even groups: 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 

 66, 77, 88, 99, etc. Learn each letter by overall 

 sound. Never count the dits and dahs.
