Is the leica q2 good for beginners?

The Leica Q2 is a fixed-lens compact with a 47-megapixel full-frame sensor and a built-in 28mm f/1.7 lens. That makes it a more specialist pick than a typical first camera. You can't swap lenses, so you're committing to one focal length from day one. The 28mm frames like 28mm on full frame, which suits street, travel, and documentary work, but it's a narrow range for a beginner still working out what they enjoy shooting.

I'd check the Leica Q2 page first, then the first camera guide. That guide says size, handling, and lens choice matter most when you're starting out, and the Q2 scores on size and handling but limits you on lenses. If you like the idea of a fixed 28mm, it's a fine camera to learn on. If you want room to grow, I'd look at an interchangeable-lens body instead, and buying used can save you a lot.
