Is this Japanese sentence correct (~たばかり)?

If you want to say that "I've only just started"

Is "まだはじまったばかり” correct? Or is using まだ wrong here?

    まだはじめたばかり <--- I think this is better.

    There's nothing wrong with まだ.

    If you say はじまった, it's like something(like a meeting/conference) has just started.

    If YOU just started something like learning/studying a language/etc はじめた is better. ^^
