I am having an issue with `思うと` and `よかった思います`. I don't know what that `と` is
doing with `思う` if it doesn't mean if/when. And I thought `思います` had to be
proceeded with a `と`. Is this not the case and maybe it just means "I think it
was good"?

Translation Help with 思うと and よかった思います
今思うと thinking back now, when I think back

When you see phrases like 思うと, 見ると, 振り返ると, 考えると etc., the following sentence
is the content or result of the verb.

I think the と between よかった and 思います is necessary. There might be an error in
your quote.

よかった is a kind of interjection. It is not just “good”, but “fortunate”. You
are glad you have already studied it.
