"just" , at what point apply it as adverb?

1- I've just seen the local paper.
2- .. your lecturer-- who knows just how good your English is-- will understand it well.

I can understand the meaning of the first sentence (I've seen the local paper about 1 or 2 minutes ago), but, the second one don't makes any sense to me. How much is it necessary in the second sentence?

In the second sentence it means "exactly", but in practice it adds a nuance that the person's English is known to be very good, or, with irony, known to be not very good.

It depends on how necessary you think "exactly" is in that k
