To have come a long way

[JPablo]

Cambridge Klett gives
to have come a long way = fig haber llegado lejos

Is there any other definition or explanation for this expression?
Something like "haber mejorado mucho"?

Would it be acceptable to say something like,
When I started learning English, I only knew how to say "yes" and "no", "This is a book" "This is a table" and "English by record" and "follow me"... but along the years I have come a long way and I now can make sentences of my own...

Please, confirm or deny, thus confirming or denying the fallacy of my sentence... :rolleyes: :D

Thank you, Rusty.

I hope I will continue improving... along the way... :)

Just a little thing. Over instead of along. :)

Thank you very much! :)
I see how "over" is much better!

(We'll get there... one of these fine years...) ;)
