Dear Jack，
I’m very glad to receive your email and very delighted to know that you’re getting along well with your Chinese learning.You must be proud of yourself for the progress you have made，so am I.
Yes，it is true that the more you learn Chinese，the more questions you will meet about it.Idioms are always a difficult part of a language.“相见恨晚” should be one of the difficult ones.It means when we meet a stranger and become friends，we hate it that we should meet each other so late.In other words，it would have been better if we had met earlier.
I hope my explanation can be of some help.And best luck with your learning.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
