Get Taildragger time if you can ASAP
Because you have just started flying, you can avoid learning the bad habits (i.e. "dead feet") that are too easy to learn if you fly only a nosegear airplane. If you can get time in a taildragger early on, you will learn a lot more about airplane control.
I learned this the hard way when when I was transitioning from Cessna 152s & 172s to a Piper PA-17 taildragger. The Piper was a modified one that was particularly twitchy and difficult to land. I had several CFIs who claimed to be taildragger qualified who could not fly it. It took me several months to get comfortable with the transition.
