Question

始める // 始まる

I don't manage to get the difference between 始める and 始まる =S
誰か教えれますか？ =]Thank you very much !

Answer

「始める」 is transitive, so you must use it with 「を」 (direct object), and　「始まる」 is intransitive.
Examples: 授業が始まりました。(The class started.) - [～が始まる。]
友だちが日本語の勉強を始めました。(My friend started to study Japanese). - [～が～を始める]
