Morse code. Started today by learning the alphabet in half an hour using a Google creative project[0] and quickly realized the challenge will be thinking in the sound/rhythm of the letters (instantly hearing/deciphering them) so I found a video[1] and then watched another video[1] which confirmed my hunch that it's better to focus on the sound than the notation.
Now I have GBoard w/ morse as my default keyboard on the mobile. Works well enough for short messages (and typing in URLs with autocomplete).
Edit: And I've been learning Spanish for months already so that's still active.

- IggleSniggle 7y agoomg. This was AWESOME! Thank you for sharing this. I just finished that tutorial and it was great. Very well done- Never done Morse before and 1.5 hrs later Im writing this comment (including punctuation...very slowly...but musically) via morse! I think my favorite moments were learning that v uses the motif from Beethovens Vth and `!` = Candy+mustache
- spurgu 7y ago> v uses the motif from Beethovens Vth Brilliant observation, this one will be impossible to forget now! edit: And I'm glad you found it useful! I've always wanted to learn Morse but never found the time/inspiration before that little learning app, which made the dive in so easy!
