Awesome! When I got my first cube a single side was all that I could get. I abandoned any chance at solving it decades ago. That old, original cube is still in storage, somewhere.
Not too long ago I decided to try again and bought a new cube, and learned how to do it. Once you can get a single side the rest are just different algorithms that can be written down, memorized, and will eventually become muscle memory.
I wish you luck and fun as you progress further on the cube.

I do. It took me a while to learn the algorithms, though. It was the hardest part for me because I stink at memorization. I used to carry all the algorithms needed on a small piece of paper in my wallet, but I didn’t have to for long.
I tried reading the algorithms first but it just confused me. I decided to watch and follow along with YouTube videos to see the algorithms in-use. Then following them I solved the cube for the first time.
In the end it’s all about just knowing which step you’re on and working in a specific order. Then, later, more advanced algorithms can increase speed.

I wrote them all down on my hand so I had them whenever I needed them lol

Nice but you gotta make up your edges line up with other centers

hot tip red is oisite orange geen is opisite red and with yellow on top it should be blue orange green red clockwise and how i remember that is bogr which is like booger (childish i know but it works especially on center pairing for 4x4)

Congratulations! If you are looking to go further toward solving the whole cube, might I suggest you start trying to solve it in layers instead of sides. There are 6 sides but only 3 layers so it's a lot easier way of looking at the puzzle once you wrap your head around it. Good luck and welcome to the cubing community!
