This is a cool program that teaches you morse code.

...a method of CW training developed by a German psychologist called Ludwig Koch back in the 1930's...Basically you start off learning the code at the speed you would like to achieve. Unlike the Farnsworth method which seeks to reduce the gap between the letters as you become more efficient, Koch came up with the idea that you should start off just learning two letters at full speed and add an additional letter once you reach 90% proficiency until you have mastered them all. Since you are only learning one new letter or figure at a time, your frustration is significantly reduced.
It reminds me a bit of the Pimsleur language method, you get good at two letters, then they add a couple more, and then review what you already knew, and so on.

It's cool to listen to the code at different speeds and see how fast you can still discriminate.
