You learn Morse Code by hearing it... not by seeing it. So ignore that chart on the website. You have to hear the rhythm to learn it. "Di dah dit dit" is what L sounds like, etc. Don't count dits and dahs (you won't be able to keep up). Learn the sounds. It's easy if you learn the sounds. And visual code (ship signalling by light) is totally different from code sent over radio. Also, no one uses Morse Code anymore for anything meaningful. Ham radio hobbyist use it for radio contest, and occasional rag chewing, but the most meaningful code you'll hear today are repeaters or vessels identifying... this is callsign... but that's about it. Great hobby and very simple way to communicate but not worth it for survival IMO. And I know Morse Code (and can use it when I have to) upto about 15 to 20 WPM. I am rusty though as I seldom have a need or desire to use it.
