Good afternoon:
Thank you for your help and time, fserrador. I think Lionel was referring to changing “noveles” to “novatos.” The word “novicio” sounds more like someone who has just joined a religious order or congregation and has not yet taken their solemn vows. I think it would be better to simply use “principiantes.” It is not a loanword and is more common in everyday speech. But you’re the boss :) Hugs
