## 📖Learn the Characters

Click on each card to hear the sound. A dot (·) is a short beep, a dash (−) is three times longer.

I
··

The letter I is two dots (··). Think of it as "E doubled" - it's the second most common vowel!

▶ Play
M
−−

The letter M is two dashes (−−). It's like "T doubled" - symmetric and easy to remember.

▶ Play
S
···

The letter S is three dots (···). The famous SOS signal starts with this letter!

▶ Play
O
−−−

The letter O is three dashes (−−−). Combined with S, it forms the universal distress signal SOS.

### 💡 Pattern Recognition

• Doubling pattern: I (··) is E doubled, M (−−) is T doubled.

• Tripling pattern: S (···) is three dots, O (−−−) is three dashes.

• SOS: The most famous Morse code signal: ··· −−− ···

### 🆘 The Famous SOS Signal

With S and O, you can now send the universal distress signal!

··· −−− ···
