This could be a nice little exercise. Taking each limb into control, one by one. I had already pretty good facial expressions, found the controls for lips and learned to key them. I'm getting more comfortable with the graph editor. Though I'm starting to do as I was told, keyframe in the timeline and go to graph editor if something needs adjusting.
Quick keys , and . I could really start liking them, they move from key to key. With ALT, those quick keys move only one frame.
I'm also getting pretty familiar with SHIFT + W and E. They make a key for position (W) and rotation (E). This helps in making some sense in the timeline. If I would use S for keying, it would put key everywhere and there would be a lot of keys in the end.
I'm also starting to get a feel for the graphs. Understanding and using the power of the curves seems superior to keys.

He's getting more loose.
I haven't fixed anything from the beginning, just so that there is good referencepoints available all the time so I see my learning curve.
Also this is not supposed to be perfected, the point is to get all the limbs under control. The plot is perfect for this kind of controlled learning. If I would start to fine tune everything, I would not only lose time, but I might also lose momentum.
