Saying hello in Morse code

Hello has five letters: H, E, L, L and O. H is four dots, E is one dot, L is dot dash dot dot, and O is three dashes.

It is a good first word to learn by ear: it uses the shortest letter, E, a repeated letter, L, and the long and steady O. Try tapping it above, or type any text into the Morse code translator.
