How it's used
Functions primarily as an adjective to describe materials, courses, or equipment designed for those just starting out in a field. It implies a focus on foundational concepts rather than advanced techniques. When used as a noun, it refers to the act of entering a field or the basic knowledge required to begin.
Examples
This set of books is specifically for beginners to read.
You want to learn guitar, do you have any introductory courses to recommend?

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe a person directly as an amateur or beginner; instead, use 新手 or 初學者 to refer to the individual, while reserving 入門 for the subject matter or the level of the course.
