    Solution

    The sentence "I knew very little French when I came here, but I have been learning and can now make myself understood" is grammatically correct. It effectively conveys that the speaker initially knew little French, but has been learning since arriving. None of the alternative options improve the sentence or add clarity. Therefore, no improvement is required.
