can someone translate this please?

the context for this is purely casual conversation between friends.
i'm not quite sure how to phrase these correctly by myself,so any input is greatly appreciated!
how do i say:
''talking with you has really helped to improve my understanding(of japanese).''

also,for a different context,
''it is strange to think that we may never meet in person,although we talk all the time''

thank you so much to any responses!:)

''talking with you has really helped to improve my understanding(of japanese).''

- Anata to hanashite kite, (nihongo no) rikai ga fukamatta yo. (Note: I am assuming that you mean "the Japanese language" when you say "Japanese.)

''it is strange to think that we may never meet in person,although we talk all the time''

- Konna ni takusan hanashi wo shite iru noni, moshikashitara ichido mo chokusetsu kao wo awaseru koto wa nai kamoshirenai to omou to okashii ne.

thank you so much AK!at least now i know i got some of it right haha:)
