Starting out

イギリスに帰った後で日本語勉強を始めました。

The example above shows how to get around the tricky aspect of saying the you started doing something. In English, you use the verb 'to start' and the action verb in the gerund or the infinitive.

Easiest way to avoid this in Japanese is find a way of not using a verb it would seem.

家に帰って食事を始めました。

Don't think about the verb (食べる) and just start the meal.

Easy.
