How me do roux!

First Block
Second Block
CmLL
LSE

First Block, a 1x2x3 Block on D, F and B, L, respectively.
This is arguably one of the most fun parts of any 3x3 method. 4 Move Cases, abstract solutions, Wide Moves, Slice moves. The more advanced one gets, the more fun First Block becomes.
For a beginner, try to not do Edge, F2L Pair, F2L Pair, try to slow solve and think about how you could insert the piece in a more efficient way.

Second Block, a 1x2x3 Block on D,F and B, R, Respectively(you know how it looks)
Many solves have a CFOP-Like construct on SB but insertions and pairing up pairs can utilize the M Slice, which helps tremendously once you get confortable.

CmLL
Simple answer, Alg sheet
Less simple Answer, Corner OLLs and PLLs
Good answer, to start, OLL and PLL are fine, you can try out your 2x2 OLL algorithms if they work(not guaranteed) and start by learning shorter algs for Adj Swap and Diag Swap for when the Corners are oriented. They will likely mess with EO but that doesn't bother you right now.
Once you get used to CmLL and want to incorporate Algorithms, start with the T and U set. Come up quite often, algs are good, no reason not to learn them.

LSE
The Term LSE and L6E are synonymous, but L6E can mean any Last Six Edge Step in any Method, while the Term LSE is usually only used on Roux.
LSE is broken down in three steps:
EO
LR
M Slice Edges
For EO, I have written a beautiful and concice tutorial 5 years ago and will try to replicate.
If your bottom colour is White, for Example, then your Top colour is Yellow(influx of Japanese users coming to eat me)(actual bottom colour doesn't matter, I just stick to white in this explaination)
That means every Edge of LSE has one Spot with either Yellow or White.
And the Edge is oriented if that Yellow or white points Up or Down.
For Cases, google or mess around. I found a solution for all possible cases back then in 5 minutes, so it's not difficult I don't think.
For LR, you utilise M(') U2 M(') a lot. You insert the two Edges that go in the UR and UL slot(UF and UB are also fine, but stick to L and R for the beginning)
For the M Slice, again, there are only a few cases. Since I assume you will watch a Video Tutorial by Kian and I'm writing this for nothing, either follow the Tutorial for this step, or again, Trial and Error. You will figure this step out in no time. I belive in you.
 
Double Post deliberately.
I forgot center placement.
During FB and SB, the only centers that need to be aligned are L and R. Your M Slice doesn't need to be aligned.
After you do CmLL and before you start EO, you will need to align the centers so that the M Slice is either at the Correct position or an M2 away.
