For the learning i suugest the site "lernru":

http://en.lernru.net/

it is pretty easy to find your way around the site but still here 2 steps to start the learning:

1.first go to the top right corner and change the language of the site to your language(i chose English) and press the EK button next to it.

2.Then go to the "Learning" tab and choose what you would like to learn

A Few Tips:

*I suggest you to start by learning the useful phrases in order to start to understand and get familiar with the language. After that learn a lot of new words and increase your vocabulary. After you will feel you know the base of the language go to the grammar tab and learn a little grammar. Then you can take a few exams to see that you got it under control.

*You can see that next to the "Learning" tab there is a "courses" tab, personally i have never tried to take a course but if you feel it will be more suitable for you, you can simply register to the site and take a course for free.

Do you remember yourself looking at something like this ->

and thinking "how the hell can anybody solve it??" and "oh my god you have to be a genius to solve on of those". Well apperantly you don't have to be a genius or anything like this, actually a normal person can solve one of those with a tutorial in 20 mins, and to learn how to  solve one without a tutorial in a couple of days(but if you are really motivated you can learn it after a few hours). However i recommend you to give a day or two for each step before learning the next one (don't worry there are only 3 steps).

Since i haven't yet created a video tutorial i will send you to the best one i could find. It's explains everything good and uses a very popular technique .  Plus if you have any problem or you don't understand something just leave a repost and i will answer you as soon as possible.

after you done with the first step here is the second video.

you can see step 2 from the start of the video until 1:25 - watch these and do it a few times. this is a easy step so you don't have to repeat it alot in order to control it.

After that you can watch the rest of the video that contain step 3. After this you will know how to solve the rubik's cube!

A few Tips

*practice practice practice - you will see that the more you practice it become easier and you soing it faster.

*check your times to see your improvement - at first they supose to be around 10 mins but after a few times you can even come to 4-5 mins and after a week or two of practicing you will be able to solve it in 2-3 mins.

*when you learn write all the algorithms on a piece of paper and use it at the first times you solve the cube without the video. as time pass start hiding some algorithms and do them only by your memory.
