I have been playing with my wife ( a pure beginner) in a local club for about 3 years. We use a very natural system - 4-card open, strong 1NT, no transfers, no relay, no negative double, only conventions are blackwood and stayman . Very strangely, some experienced players treated us like using HUM system! 20 years ago, I learned bridge using the system mentioned above. Nowadays I note that some "bridge teachers" teaching their bridge beginner using transfers, RKC..... Terrible! Seems no one knows how to play bridge without conventions.....
