How it sounds
Hear the opening dit
The first short mark announces 1. After that, the rhythm stretches into four dahs.
2 has two opening dits, so the number of short marks at the start tells you which early digit you heard.
How to type it
Start with one dot
Type one period, then four hyphens, with no extra space inside the digit.
Use it inside short strings
Practice 1 in compact examples like A1 or CODE 1 before using longer dates.
Common number mistakes
Every Morse digit uses five marks, so missing one dot or dash can change the answer.
Two opening dits turns 1 into 2.
Missing the opening dit
If the first short mark is missed, the remaining sound can feel like a partial run of dahs.

Practice 1 in context
Hear 1, type .----, then compare it with nearby number and letter patterns so it becomes more than a lookup.
Listening drill
Play 1, 2, and 0. Focus on whether the digit begins with one short dit or with a long dah.
Typing drill
Type the one-dit four-dah pattern for 1, then type A1, 21, and CODE 1 with clear spaces between Morse characters.
Keep practicing 1
Compare nearby digits, hear the signal, then move from lookup to recall in the tools.
