처음 is a very complex word that can be used in many situations. It can be used in sentences when you are talking about the first time something is being done. It can be used as a noun or an adverb, depending on the situation (which adds to its complexity). The two most common situations are:
1) 처음에 ... (at first/in the beginning)
처음에 그 여자를 싫어했어요 - I didn't like that girl at first
저는 처음에 체육 수업을 싫어했어요 - At first I didn't like PE class2) Put in a sentence as an adverb to indicate this is the first time something has happened:
저는 어제 선생님을 처음 만났어요 - I met my teacher for the first time yesterday
저는 내일 한국에 처음 갈 것입니다 - I will go to Korea for the first time tomorrow
