How long did it take you to learn all the PLLs?

haha, the Sune took me all of one run-through to have it memorized and committed to muscle memory. It was one move off of an OLL alg from my keyhole method, U2 instead of U or something like that...

I do muscle memory I just do it over and over (about 2-10 times) then I can do it without looking at it and when I do that I see how the cube moves and if there is a pattern or something to let me know I'm doing them right so I learned one a day so it took me about 3 weeks it was easy just doing one a day so you can get it and you use it and the only problem I see with learning more than one a day is that I get them confused so I hope that I answered your question.

Thing is, I have learned full PLL, and its ok to learn all the algs and comitt them to memory over a couple of weeks...But the thing is once you learn all 21 PLLs, after a few days, only some of them remain in your mind. Most of them eg about 17 of them, you will be unsure which one it was, and which one to use, so you need a constant cheat sheet for several months.
On top of that you start to get parts of one alg used with parts of another...and until this stops happening, you have not learned them properly.
Then there are days where you simply cannot remember the alg even when prompted and you have to go through it again several times and feel the muscle memory come back.
So unless you are doing the cube all day long, as i did when i was at school, and at nights...it is going to take several months of intermittent and quite regular practice to sink in full PLL,
If you are a youngster doing it on the way to school, at school, on the way home, all night at home, and in bed ..7 days a week, with young obsession...then i would say it would take you around 4 to 6 weeks to master full pll.
if you are working and playing with your cube sometimes at night, sometimes not, maybe a few minutes over the weekend here and there..then i say it will take around 3 -4 months to master full PLL

12-year bump, impressive! I'm sure that half of the WCA competitors weren't alive before this thread was active.

EDIT: I don't think that 21 algorithms would take 4-6 weeks if you spent your whole day cubing all the time, if you theoretically did nothing but cube 24 hours a day (like Tymon) it would only take you 1-2 days, maybe 3 if you are bad at learning. PLL is not that hard to learn, especially since most algs either have triggers from other algs or are setups/rearrangements of other algs.

I learnt full PLL in 5 months lol

I learnt full PLL in 5 months lol

I’ve been learning it for seven and still need to learn one more gperm

 

[Jam88]

I learnt in like 2 weeks

 

[PetrusQuber]

I learnt when I was like sub 35 lol, not sure how long it took me, but definitely not over a month.

I learnt it in like 2-3 days (by learnt I mean that I could execute every PLL). I learnt like 15 of them in 4 hours or sth like that
