Really discouraged with morse code challenge

Question

This is the second challenge in a row where I have no idea where to start and when I search the help database, the posted answers have nothing to do with the recent content learned but more importantly, contain concepts that aren't covered in the material. I find this really discouraging and it's making the object oriented section extremely difficult to get through and I'm considering a switch to another learning platform.

morse.py

class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern
    def __str__(self):
        for char in self.pattern:
            if char == ".":  

class S(Letter):
    def __init__(self):
        pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
        super().__init__(pattern)

my_try = S()
print(my_try.__str__())

You seem off to a good start. What's left might be:

starting with an empty list variable
appending the word "dot" to the list when your test for "." is true
appending the word "dash" to the list otherwise
after the loop is done, joining the list into a string with "-" as a separator
then returning that final string

Does breaking it down like that help? I think you've probably seen examples of the individual tasks by now.
