Meaning

Explanation

You know the kanji part means begin. The に on the end refers to a direction. So, think of this like "the direction of the beginning" which would be where things all started. That's why this word/phrase means "in the beginning."

Reading

はじめに

Explanation

The reading is kun'yomi (look at all that hiragana!) but that's the reading you learned with the word 始める, so have no fear, you got it!

Context
