Absolutely.  At your **receiving** speed, of course.

I agree although I would suggest a bug as the last challenge to face.  
I'm currently exclusively using a bug as a challenge for a decent fist. 
I've been operating CW for 55 years now.

Look for the slow speed or training nets to get started. Many sections 
have them.  Of course, traffic nets require the ability for hardcopy on 
paper, not in your head.  When I operated the high level nets (8RN/EAN) 
I learned to print each letter at 28 wpm.

Enjoy developing your skills.
