Other forms: beginners
A beginner is somebody who has just started learning. An absolute beginner, a beginner's class, beginner's luck.
Beginner's luck is a real observed pattern with a dull explanation: a beginner does not know what to worry about, and expects nothing, so the good result stands out and the bad ones are forgotten. Beginners are often told less, not more, on purpose.
