What does this mean? A japanese girl sent a message saying this...?

Question:


じゃあ、ジョナタンに会うまでに私はちゃんと国語を学びなおさないとね。

So understand the whole message. The only part i'm confused in is this sentence. I think it means "So, untill i meet Jonathan (untill she meets me), I will teach you proper language".

Am i right?

Answer:


じゃあ、ジョナタンに会うまでに私はちゃんと国語を学びなおさないとね。
Well then, I think I have to study Japanese anew till I meet Jonathan.
学びなおす=学び直す=study (Japanese) once again
読み直す= read (a book) once again
~~しないといけない=have to do ....like in: 学び直さないといけない、読み直さないといけない。
(it's not negative form)
more examples;
早く帰らないといけない=have to get back home soon
宿題をしないといけない=have to do home work
