The secret is in the way you approach it. Method today is to learn
the sound of a letter. A is not dot dash or dit dah. It is not Ah
Pull. It is not ._ It is the sound of didah. You repeat each
letter until you have it down and move to the next one. This is called
the Koch method.
The letters are sent at 20 wpm to reinforce they are one sound. Code
is sent slower by expanding the space between letters. This is called
Farnsworth method.

Thank you so much for articulating the magic about CW.
As a teen I tried to learn Morse Code and never was able to get very
far. With Morse as a condition for getting a license, I never
thought about getting a Ham License although I was very heavy into
electronics and got my First Class Radiotelephone License. (To show
my age, the testing only had one transistor question; all the rest
were tubes.)
When I discovered that Morse Code had been removed as a requirement
(2014 or so) I began studying for my tests and made Extra within a
few months.
I have K3S that I am about to put on the air, on SSB to begin
because that is what I currently understand.
I have had CW recommended, but am unwilling to repeat the head
banging experience I went through 50+ years ago.
Now that I've given the history, my question to those of you who are
gung-ho on CW is; how did you begin the learning process? Is there
some secret that I missed?
