This is not a ESB issue, because in the end of the movie Luke was always supposed to return to finish his training, but Lucas again screw up in ROTJ, not only the training of Luke, which probably was to much larger, but also the "There is another" which was rushed and invented for ROTJ to close up things (Leia was not meant to be Luke's Sister before ROTJ). I wonder what happened between Ep. V and VI that made Lucas change is mind so much to stop there, tired? wanting more time for is family?

Tired, I guess. Bored of Star Wars and going on to new, exciting movies. Like Howard the Duck or the beloved Willow.

Its another "lets sweep it under the rug and forget about it" scriptwriting shortcut moment. Like a few things in Star Wars, its not too bad until you think about it too much.

is there any point where it says in the films that the scene in ROTJ is only the second visit to yoda?

Compare it to the time frame of the action that Han etc. went through, its a push to even streach it to that.
Its poor scriptwriting.

yes, twice in fact, after destroying Jabba, Luke tells Artoo they are going to Degonah because of a promise he made to a old friend (he says "and i'll return, I promise" in ESB) and in the cave he tells Yoda "But I've comeback to finish the training" both implying that he has not been there since Empire.
If there was no PT what is the problem if Luke is there for an hour or a couple of days?
with the PT everything in the OT get's in perspective.
the X-wing could have sink in the first couple of days, and then Luke be there for a couple of weeks, but anything goes really, he could have been there the 15 minutes we see in the movie

You don't need the PT to know that you can't learn anything in a couple of days, let alone a few hours. If it could happen so fast then why wasn't Yoda training everyone to be a Jedi? (The PT makes sense out of that mess with the much maligned midichorians)
Again, I don't dislike ESB for these problems, we only have 2 hours and we need a story. But they exist none the less.

Why not? why can't Luke learn in a couple of days?
I always thought Luke was special, being a Jedi would come easy to him, just like any sport genius with all the natural talent.
Nothing extraordinary there, what is extraordinary is the way you accept Midiclorians, when all it's purpose was to show that Anakin was the most gifted Jedi ever. Since he did all kind of stunts, Midiclorians were totally irrelevant to the plot.
again, using sports, is just like scientists finding out that a soccer player his better at playing soccer than an average person because it has the compound B in him, imagine the amount of kids being tested and refused because they did not had the right amount of compound B. It takes away a bit of the mystery in life doesn't it? No more dreams , no more expectations no more work to archive something.
That is what Lucas have done with the dreadful PT. No more magic.
BTW, you say "why wasn't Yoda training everyone to be a Jedi?", before the PT we belived that kids would inherited their parents abilitys (no need for bacteria explanation here) but in the PT Jedi's don't have kids, they hunt for kid's born somewhere in the universe who are force sensitive. So why should Luke/Leia be the only hope in the OT??? I'm sure at the time a lot of kids would continue to be born in the universe with force sensitivity, just like in the old days of the republic. Or is it because Luke/Leia are Vader Kids and that is what would have been used to defeat him? But now it's OK to have attachements?
Contradictions, contradictions... I'll stick to Episodes IV-VI as canon, Thanks

what's wrong with this statement has been covered in anopther thread.
it's a tad erronious, but you're right...
it's just the "old Friend" remark... gives too much depth to their relationship.
either way through practice or whatever he had gained much skill between ESB and ROTJ.
but then he had obiwans ghost following him around a bit. so there may have been the odd chime in... who knows, the important thing is, he wasn't just some chump that showed up and rocked the world the way jariten is implying.

when you say Elaborate do you mean the verb or the adjective?
as in 'that was elaborate', or 'could you please elaborate'?
