I'm just getting into quads and I've got a question about size.
What size frame is easier to fly a big one like 550mm or a much smaller one?

Is Bigger Better

Doesn't really work like that.
What's best is for you to get a cheap little UAV and learn to fly with it. Then when you move into bigger (aka more expensive one's), you have more experience flying so there's less chance of a mistake (or more chance of a recovery).

In general larger is more stable, but larger also brings more expense and complexity.
Anything from 350 (Phantom size) upwards can/will be rock solid. Id advise a Phantom of you want a ready to fly, or build a basic F450 if you want to learn how to build one. Both are very stable, and the f450 has a lot of room to expand as you learn.
But, you won't get better advice than Ronan gave you... Buy a cheap micro quad like a Hubson x4, and fly it, crash it and learn to control it. It's basic controls are the same as bigger quads, and they are much more twitchy. They means you can play and learn to control it in your garage or garden, and when you master it you will have no issues with a more expensive bigger quad. And they are always great toys!
