Here are some tips for learning to solve the Rubik's cube intuitively:

1. Understand the structure of the cube. The cube consists of 6 faces, each with 9 stickers. The core mechanism allows each face to rotate independently. Knowing how the faces move relative to each other is key to understanding how to solve the cube.

2. Learn basic moves. The simplest moves are called the U face (up), D face (down), L face (left), R face (right), F face (front), and B face (back). Practice rotating each face 90, 180 or 270 degrees at a time. More complex moves combine two faces, e.g. RU moves the R face 90 degrees and then the U face 90 degrees.

3. Understand pieces. There are 3 types of pieces: centers, corners, and edges. Centers don't move, corners have 3 stickers, and edges have 2 stickers. Track how the pieces move when you rotate faces. 

4. Solve the cross. The "cross" is the 4 edges that include the U center. Line these up on the U face. This forms your first layer and foundation for solving the rest of the U face. 

5. Solve the first layer corners. Once the cross is done, solve the 4 corners on the U face. Use basic moves to place the corners in the right position while not disturbing the cross.

6. Solve the second layer edges. This step solves the edges in the middle layer, one at a time. Hold the cube so you can see the U face and one other face. Line up one middle edge and then use RU' or LU' moves to slide the edge into place without disturbing the other pieces you've solved.

7. Orient the last layer corners. Make sure the last layer corners are all in the correct position, not just that they are in the last layer. You may need to do a corner swap or rotate a corner into place.

8. Permute the last layer corners. Once oriented, the last layer corners may be in the wrong permutation. Use an algorithm to cycle the last layer corners into the correct permutation. 

9. Solve the last layer edges. Position and orient the last layer edges to finish solving the Rubik's cube!

With practice, these techniques become intuitive. The key is really understanding how the pieces move and interact, rather than just memorizing algorithms. Let me know if you have any other questions!
