So, uh, an important skill that I’ve learned recently is quite interesting as I’m a huge nerd. I decided to learn Morse code. Uh, there is a quick story behind it. I was taking a creative writing course in my university. That’s why I was needed to write an article. Um, sorry, not an article. Um, I was asked to write a story and the two characters in this particular story was talking through the wall using the Morse code. So I decided to learn the Morse code and the way we can pronounce some, uh, letters, I could say spell, I guess, using the Morse code. So I’ve used tools on the Internet, especially on YouTube and Google, to search for the different types of knocks and pauses that I should use to spell a particular letter, a specific one. And I used it in my story. As a result, I’ve got the full credit for the story and my classmates really loved it.
