Comprehending Morse code as another language instead of just dots and dashes is the best way to have fun :-)
Morse Code is NOT another language and learning it is MUCH MUCH simpler than learning a new language.
Morse Code is a way of defining English alphabet letters (and Arabic numbers) in sound.

I don't think I agree with you there. In fact I would be tempted to rephrase that as I, d, o, n, t, t, h, i, n, k, I, a, g, r, e, e, w, i, t, h, y, o, u, t, h, e, r, e.
We could go on telephony and spell out the QSO, but it would be painfully slow and error prone. For anything like a fluent Morse QSO, you really need to be hearing words, not letters.
