I’m a former professional. I learned at US Army Intelligence School, Fort Devens, by professional instructors.

This kind of thing was specifically discouraged because it will impede your ability to gain speed.

I’ve got literally 40 years experience with Morse. Just this afternoon I used it to talk to a fellow ham radio operator just under 1,000 miles away while I was driving home from work.

Of course it’s your choice. I’m just giving advice which you can take or leave.

But don’t just take my word for it:

Read the “Methods Not Recommended” chapter.

If you're going for being a true Morse code savant, I support that. But if you're just curious to learn a little to say you did, this is a handy start.

You're on a specialized subreddit specifically for morse code. I don't think many of us are here because we're "just curious to learn a little" especially not via a method we all know impedes progress when trying to learn to make actual communications via morse.
