Can You Investigate 20 Words For Each Phonetic Alphabet Which Is In Easy Words As Possible

How do Chinese people memorize thousands of Chinese characters?

That’s another ‘China Myth’, right?But the truth is: a Chinese character is not an English/Latin letter, but it is a word, or even a phrase.If you could recognize 1500 Chinese characters you can use Weibo/WeChat and you can read most of the daily use information printed in Chinese language.If you learn 3500 Chinese characters you can read books, newspaper and live a normal life in China, you can get a job easily.If you learn 7000 common used Chinese characters you can read any material in college level or in very specific researching fields.You don’t have to know more than 7000 characters to be a lawyer, a doctor or a teacher.The 7001st Chinese character and more are only for linguists or historians, even though there are more than 25000 characters, but you should know, many of them are derivations or variants of the ‘7000ers’ or some of them were just had been used historically.Compared with this, I remembered there are more than 1 million English words exist in the world, you can’t understand a lecture in college if you know less than 6000~8000 words.I don’t think you can read the English used in medicine, legal, bio-chemistry, psychology or such fields if you don’t know more than 10000 words. There are freaking grammars, freaking ‘borrowed’ words from French, Latin, German, etc. in such fields and some ‘English’ words you may never use in your every day life. They are hard as hell, and some relative clauses, the ‘longer’ sentences, are worse than hell in legal English.The so called “pros” (professionals) in such fields, just learn those craps for years and years to make sure that you don’t know what they are talking about, while they are really speaking ‘English’ to you.This situation doesn’t exist in Chinese language, a lawyer can explain some cases very clearly to a peasant in China in very FORMAL language, and that’s not because we are smart, it is just because our language is simple.As a pupil in an elementary school in China, he or she just need to learn around 200 characters per semester, it means only 40 characters per month, 2 characters per day approximately. After 6 years study he or she will master 2400~2500 characters, in the middle school there are another 1500 characters, when the kid is 16 years old he or she just know more than 4000 characters.And that’s quite enough for the kid to use for his/her entire life.

Is there a pattern to the designation of dots and dashes in the letters of International Morse Code?

As many before me have answered, Morse is a sounds code.It takes time to learn them all and even if you pass the Amateur (HAM) tests at 10 or 12 words per minute, you still need to listen or chat on air to recognise words instead of just hearing the letters.In the tests you can get away with just writing down the letters as you hear them, but once you are up to on-air speeds of 15WPM upwards you need to recognise whole words and write them down if necessary.I suggest whenever you write them, use longhand, not capital letters, it’s faster. Or if you can touch type, use a keyboard to take notes.I filled half a dozen exercise books with written out code when I was learning before I got on air.After a while, especially if you can have daily chats with a group, you will be able to recognise the sender from the way he sends his Morse code, this is called recognising his “fist”.Skilled operators can listen to a Morse code message while speaking to someone, and then write the message down later. Also using full break in, one can send at the same time as receiving. Hard to believe I know, but I have done it often. Some transceivers feature “full break in” where the transmitter sends each dit or dah as per normal but the receiver opens up between each dit or dah that you send, so you can still hear most of a message being sent to you while you are answering. You can also have friends transmit to you on slightly different frequencies so that their Morse sounds are at slightly different pitches, so you can listen to two at once or more.There are not many of us left, most code operators are long gone so there are not a lot left on air. There used to be a lot of Russians on HF because they built their own rigs. QRP or low power homebrew below 5 watts output was very popular for a while in the 80’s and I built a couple of HF rigs at the time. Some sounded quite unique because of this. It’s a few years since I was seriously on air, lately I only have a listen around every few months or so to refresh my speed, my sending is probably atrocious by now!

What is the best way to learn spoken dead language?

Hard to know how to specifically advise without knowing which language you're talking about and what kind of resources you have. I'd start with some questions:Why are you at all interested in this language? Is there a personal, professional, cultural or spiritual reason you feel you'd be enriched by competence in that language? If so, embed your learning experience in those contexts (ie. learning vocabulary and structures relevant to your personal interest in the language first).If the language was only spoken and is now dead, how is it documented? It might be documented using roughly phonetic transcription. Is there enough detail in the documentation for you to actually learn to pronounce these words? If not, you might need to create a system of convention for yourself regarding how to resolve ambiguity. Investigate the research in that area to understand if that's previously been done. Learning to use the International Phonetic Alphabet (the IPA that isn't a beer) would probably be helpful since the language has no orthography.Ask yourself if there's really enough documentation of this language for you to effectively learn this language. Will you be able to express a wide range of vocabulary or will you be consistently left without useful words? Will there be grammatical structures you can't quite create without engaging in linguistic reconstruction? Do you have the skills or inclination to do that?Who will you practice speaking with? Language is interactional by nature. If you cannot speak with someone, you're going to have a hard time. I find supplementing self-study with watching media like TV/movies/news with subtitles is helpful if you don't have a frequent interactional partner. Unfortunately, with a dead language, you won't be able to do that. You will be stuck rehearsing verbal scripts aloud (e.g. Greetings, descriptions of what you do first thing in the morning, etc.). The absence of an interactional partner would make this very hard.Not trying to generally discourage you from doing this, but it is a difficult undertaking based on the information I have. This is a very academic undertaking in historical linguistics, so if you don't have training in the area, you'll need to find resources that can supplement that.

Why do police say Delta, alpha & Charlie?

Those are the words designated in the NATO phonetic alphabet to substitute for the letters D, A, and C, respectively. The words are less likely to be misunderstood than say, "see" (C), which could sound like E, B, T, or 3. Those particular words were chosen because they can be easily pronounced by speakers of all the languages native to the NATO countries. Some police agencies use the NATO alphabet, but as many or more use a more Americanized version, which is mostly first names. The letters mentioned in the question would be David, Adam, and Charles. There is considerable variation in the specific words used from one agency or region to the next.
