yeah try to beat the minute with that method, get used to turn the cube and do those algorithms fast with fingertricks.
And about learning the algorithm, learn the movement not the notation, read the algorithm while excecuting it, and read less and less, after a few times you should be able to do it with out looking at the notation and you can then work on that algorithm, your grip, your speed and you can practise it, so that you do it without thinking much about it.
Don't go to fast, you can learn ONE algorithm fast, the second in short time becomes harder, the practise in learning algorithms starts later when you got for 78 OLLs/PLLs or other methods that will require a lot algorithms too. But that will take some weeks to come to.
