To start with
We use “to start with” to talk about how something was at the beginning — before it changed. It helps the listener understand the starting point of a situation. Very often, what comes after is different. Let’s look at this pattern:

1- To start with, I didn’t understand the instructions, but after a few tries, everything became clearer.
2- To start with, she wasn’t sure she wanted to join, but after listening for a while, she changed her mind.
