I see a lot if interesting suggestions on how to learn CW the fast and or easy way, but the one thing I feel is most most important is to learn to copy under real life conditions (QRM/QRN poor fist). Memorise the code and start learning to copy from off the air QSOs.
Sending is something else. I think that listening to slow canned code while reading what is being sent and sending over top of the canned code will teach proper timing. My two cents.
