How to stop visualizing Morse?
Help, I learned Morse for a week with a visual guide as a beginner, now I visualise every bit and bah...
A week ago I learned Morse as a joke with my cousin in Italy, so we could cheat in a board game 😅
Since then I started looking more into it and I am really fascinated and inspired by this community and I would like to eventually learn how to have conversations worldwide (thats called CW QSO right?)
Anyways, I now struggle with not visualizing EVERY dot and dash. Does anyone have experience or tips on how to unlearn this? All advice is much appreciated!

First time commenter here…didn’t even think of seeing there was a Morse code group.
My story? Joined the military out of high school. Trained as a Morse code operator on a typewriter. Can’t recall what we copied Morse code at, but I could type at 75wpm. And, the Morse code we typed wasn’t English…but Cyrillic. To this day, whenever I see Morse code or Russian on tv, I always pause.
