Add modern Morse Code to Duolingo


Add modern Morse Code to Duolingo
The Issue
Morse code is not only quite easy to learn, but also more than ever useful. If people could learn Morse code from a reliable source, like Duolingo, there could be so many learners so fast!
I could imagine short but useful lessons, not only teaching you how to understand the difference between the long beeps and short dots, but being able to understand the meanings. I could see some lessons where you get a beeper and Duolingo teaches you how to create your own short dots and long beeps, Duolingo testing how accurate it is and declaring it as correct or incorrect.
Now I feel like Morse code is underrated, but if Duolingo were to start teaching it, lives could be saved. Morse code could be taught free and easy to the point where people around the world can be using and understanding the power the simple [.]s and [-]s have. Jeremiah Denton, someone kidnapped and forced to say he was okay and safe on the television, had blinked the letters "torture" and was later saved as military took the note.
Now imagine more people around the world saving the victims getting kidnapped daily. Morse code can, and does, save lives. If Duolingo was able to teach such a simple language, the bigger outcome would be more than useful.
That is why I think Morse code is long due. The course wouldn't be any hard to make. If I could, I would make it this instant, all myself. But, there is a team. A team of people whom I am sure many know Morse code. So, for the sake of helping others, I say that Morse code should be added to Duolingo as soon as possible.
