"have come to" vs "have become"

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum. I would appreciate someone's help!

I'd like to ask if both of these are correct and if they mean the same thing.

"I have come to understand Japanese recently"
"I have become able to understand Japanese recently"

Anonymous I have come to understand Japanese recently To my ear this suggests a sudden and deep insight into Japanese. Anonymous I have become able to understand Japanese recently This sounds like a roundabout way of saying "I recently learned Japanese". CJ
