It's handy to note some of the easier letters to remmeber, for example, the letters E, I, S and H are made up from one dot, two dots, three dots and four dots, while T, M and O are made from one dash, two dashes and three dashes respectively. Most of the letters can also be paired off with their opposite, or mirror.

For example,

A is the opposite of N
B is the opposite of J
E is the opposite of T
B is the mirror of V
Q is the mirror of Y

Choose one of the methods, but not both.
