Koch's method

Traditionally, Morse code has been taught by struggling through all the codes at a slow speed and then (slowly) progressing towards higher speeds.

Koch's method, on the other hand, dictates that you should start learning at the desired speed - but you start with only two characters. Each session is five minutes long, and whenever you get 90% or more correct, you add another character.

Just Learn Morse Code utilizes Koch's method for teaching Morse code.

Koch's method was invented by German psychologist Ludwig Koch in the 1930s.
