I suggest you learn at speed between 15 and 20 which is mostly what you will
encounter if you make contacts. 10 is a little slow and you may end up
counting at times. Having a conversation at 10WPM is kinda slow IMO.

The Koch method is really cool. I also suggest you learn the letter at full
speed but increase the delay between letters. You can then reduce the delay
as you feel more confident.

The key is everyday, 15 minutes. If you struggle too much, just stay on that
lesson longer. It will sink in faster than you think.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers!
