There are quite a few 'learn tarot' cd's about, but to be honest they will only teach you to learn by memory and thats not the best way to read the cards. Try and spend a little time looking into the cards pictures and perhaps study them one by one, unless you need to have an audio learning mode in which case why not make your own and read from a book or use your intuition to describe and record the cards that way?

I think Gem is right about that. The runes are similar to the tarot, and I tried to commit them to memory using the books, but I learned them when I picked them up and used them. There's no substitute for use and reflection of the cards (or in my case, runes). Ended up committing them to memory without even trying.

There is one massive difference between runes and tarot cards lol..... tarot have pictures!!! Heehee. I do read runes too, but I use gemstone runes so a different gem with the rune carved onto it, that way I have a clue to as to the meaning.

Mind you, tarot decks differ, some are incredibly hard to read, some have a minor arcana with no pics just 5 wands or 6 cups and no hints! Arrrgh,

But I love tarot so can't fault it

Wouldn't tarot be easier to some degree because you have a picture to help visualize the meaning (I guess I am talking about the major arcana, not the minor). For example, if I see the Hanged Man, I get an image right away (actually of Odin, whom some sources say is the inspiration of the Hanged Man). Runes are like all minor arcana in a sense. Just symbols and no pretty pictures. If you look at my avatar (the rune Wunjo) there is no hint to its meaning. Well, for the uninitiated at any rate...
