It's the number 12 monthly post. That means I'm seriously learning CW now for a year. And I did make progress. I might not be able to make a decent QSO on air or follow it at all. But I experienced that I can decode most calls in a contest and numbers in morse code.
Last month I was writing about finishing lesson number 40 at 28/12 wpm. I thought it would take another few days. But till now I'm unable to finish it without errors. My last attempt had only 1 fault, so close to that 100%.
I keep going but the lessons are less important now. I do a lot of plain text training on a speed of 15/15 wpm. It is far above my abilities right now and most of the time I only have 70-80% right. It doesn't matter, some day I'll get it.
I got some info from PE2V Vincent's blog that there are some CW contest going on through the week. It would be nice to partake in them but through the week is a bit difficult right now. So I keep contesting in weekends.

Good morning Bas nice to see you are sticking with it and making progress. The 28 wpm my just be a plateau moment that you have to get the brain to venture over with time and practice.

If I had not read and heard about this plateau moment it would give me a bad feeling. Now I know such things happen to everyone. The only thing to do is to keep going! 73, Bas
