Learn your opponent's system, then think about your system: :-D.
How does a beginner decide which conventions to learn?

Okay... But tell me, how did you choose the conventions you play? It's all well and good to talk about how one feels about them , but the process is quiet arduous. Could you please relate your specific experiences in choosing your conventions?

Start simple with Stayman, Transfers and some treatment against Opps opening NT, something like Cappeletti or Don't. And then as time goes by and y get used to these systems add some more like maybe Drury, Lebensohl etc. Y can make a system as simple or complex as y want, but complex systems are only good if y know how to defend and be a good cardplayer. So try to become a cardplayer first before y start to get to involved in complex systems
