I think azalea are pretty good for a beginner because of their quickness to back bud, which can prove to be a real asset if you cut off the wrong branch as you are learning. In your climate, you would really have to keep on top of the watering and probably an indirect light or dappled light would be safest for it, but they are very forgiving as I said when it comes to pruning.

Whatever you choose, have a good time.
