Well, the biggest mistake I made as a beginner was not knowing all of
the usual cw abbreviations. I thought my copying ability was
lousy...it wasn't, I just didn't recognize those cw shortcuts.
The one that threw me most often was "ES" (back in Feb 1966) until my
elmer stopped by to watch me copy. I apologized for doing a lousy job
and he laughed and explained it all to me. I was good at cw, but
lousy at comprehending what I was writing down.
The other big mistake back then was starting to send before completely
throwing the knife switch...but that's doesn't apply any more. LOL

And "de" mean "from"
