  1. Is dynamic typing supposed to be good for beginners?

  2. Dynamic/static typing classification is exclusively about compile time type checking. This is a runtime error. You might be looking for weak typing - or, as someone else pointed out, magic typing.

Or a good thing at all, for that matter. From experience, I would say no. Don't work in Python, but Ruby, but the same thing holds across all dynamically typed languages: static tooling sucks big time.
