Late but...

Yes, and no. They do have those advantages, but the 25 year old is also far, far further past the window of opportunity with language learning than the 7 year old, so that also effects how easily it's picked up.

I think we're on the same page here. I was also arguing against the bootstraps mentality expressed earlier; didn't mean to suggest that their mentality is the only thing holding the 25-year-old back. At 7 (and I'm sure someone else can express this in more scientific terms) your brain's like a sponge. At 25, well... it's definitely more resistant to learning new things, and not just for the aforementioned psychological/social/resource reasons.
