At the time, I said that I would take a crack at updating "Your Novice
Accent" and collecting resources for the new ham who is trying to get
proficient at CW.
I decided, after a while, that updating YNA was something I didn't
want to try, but Dan KB6NU has done so at
http://kb6nu.com/your-novice-accent/. By all means, take a look.
Instead of trying to make a coherent article, I did the 21st century
thing of collecting a bunch of links and stitching them together into
a web page with stream-of-consciousness text. Tom N0SS and Fred K6DGW
were a great help in this endeavour. Please take a look at
http://www.dimebank.com/cak/k6dbg/k6dbg_cw.html and send me any
comments and criticism you might have...

Hi Chris, I teach the code and have gone through the Koch and
several other things to the Chuck Adams CD-ROM. It happens that making
the CD-Rom is a problem if your not a computer geek. I am one of those
and so I had the Students buy their own MP3 players and I gave them the
CD-Rom.
It was not perfect but it was good. Out of 9 students 3 quit after
the first day. One student was 6 years old and she was ALSO learning the
Letters and Words at school. She had trouble, after hearing the CW for g
figuring out how to write g :-)
I set up a VE session right after the class which was 3 weeks, 5
days a week for 1 hour, and 4 passed the 5 WPM code AND the General
written by taking the tests on the QRZ web site.
I think the idea of starting to learn A at 15 WPM is a good idea.
Only one person had trouble with the speed. The serious problem is the
person who will not LEARN to get the CW from the same part of the brain
we store how to write g :-)
