For those interested in learning Morse Code by sound, https://lcwo.net (Learn CW Online) is a good resource, although not really usable on a mobile device.

For building speed, I had the most success listening to random characters via https://morsecode.world/international/trainer/character.html during my morning walks. Another option to consider are the Morse Code Ninja https://morsecode.ninja/ YouTube and Podcast content.

Lastly, if you learn better in more social environments, consider the Long Island CW Club, which, despite its name, has members globally. https://longislandcwclub.org/

My favorite way to learn CW, and what push me over the top into actually using it, was CW Academy from CWops https://cwops.org/cw-academy/ where you work together with an instructor and other students. Running CW over a Zoom call instead of the radio made it much easier to get into and easier to copy without the QRM and other white noise. They do strongly push for use of a paddle, which I like anyways, but those that prefer a straight key might prefer other resources.
