Topic: A typo in "Trying things in Japanese"
The first example goes like this:
お好み焼きを始めて食べてみたけど、とてもおいしかった！
This should have been 初めて, because it means "for the first time" rather than "begin" 
Re: A typo in "Trying things in Japanese"
Technically, it's not really a typo. Both 初めて and 初めて can be used to express "for the first time", though people tend to prefer 初めて.
