hi isashach,
i also started my first 3D-activitys with blender half year ago . Some features are circuitous I think. Two weeks ago I started my first activities with Maya. It is more intuitional in my opinion. The user-interface in Maya is easelyer then in Blender. That's my opinion.
But I am also a beginner in Maya, so I don't can really say which program is better for beginner.
