I want to find a parter to exchange language
There is a paragraph. Some content, I still don't understand. Please help me.
Title:Do you speak English
I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the nest town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, 'do you speak English? As I soon learnt, he was English himself!
please help me , the last sentence "As I soon learnt, he was English himself" The meaning of “as” I don't understand. WHAT IS ITS USAGE?

In that last sentence, “as” is a conjunction that means “when”. (In English, “as” can be either an adverb or a conjunction, and each of them has multiple possible meanings.)
