Hi,
It seems that I've been making this mistake all the time.
I always say "Because she has a good foundation", to mean someone who is better than others even though they start doing things at the same time. Here I would like to use learning English as an example.
Some classmates were having dinner with a foreigner, the man talked to each of us and finally asked that why A's English is better than the others. Then A said when he was young he thought English was interesting and he concentrated on it. So now it's easier for him to learn than others who thought that English was difficult to learn initially.
Can I say "It's easier for her to pick up English because she has a solid foundation".
Thanks a lot
