About the 3x3 Beginner Method
The 3x3 Beginner Method is the most common starting point for new cubers. It is simple, easy to remember, and teaches solving the cube layer by layer: first layer, middle layer, then last layer.
Its biggest advantage is understanding. You can learn the core ideas without memorizing many algorithms, and most beginners reach around 1-2 minute solves after regular practice.
For higher speed, this method eventually becomes limiting. After you feel consistent, moving to advanced methods like CFOP or Roux can help you solve much faster.

You should be able to solve the cube consistently without needing to think too much about the algorithms. A strong understanding of the basics will make learning advanced techniques much easier and less confusing later on.
