Default Any sailplanes for a beginner?

Hello,
Can anyone recommend a good sailplane that is good enough for a beginner? Is the Easy Star a sailplane? I'm looking for something that has a long wing span and is slow and easy to fly for a beginner. Thank you.

Easy Star is not a sailplane.
Great Planes Spirit or Spectra electric are good sturdy balsa sailplanes, 78" span, available in kit or ARF.
Goldberg Gentle Lady is a good one too, not as robust as the above but lighter.
