Personally, I generally recommend that all beginners learn on a standard guitar, whether the player is left-handed or right-handed.
When learning guitar, just like most any other musical instrument, both hands have plenty to learn how to do. Both hands will be developing strength, skills, and coordination. In most cases I've seen, no significant advantage is achieved by using a lefty guitar. In fact, I believe it can present a disadvantage.
Learning on a standard (as opposed to a lefty) guitar insures you will be able to access 95% of the guitars you come across in life. Playing spontaneously at a friend’s house or party, trying out the shiny new guitars in a guitar shop; these activities are open to those who play standard guitar.
Left-handed students who learn on left-handed guitars are dependent on finding these guitars, which are a rarity.
My two cents - keep us posted!
