てform + はじめて
not until…, only after…

はじめてliterally means “first time”. So this pattern basically expresses “after doing [A], for the first time I did [B]”.

An expression that says something that you have never done before and that you have learned or noticed for the first time.

【Turning Japanese Adjectives into Nouns by Using さ】
When we want to describe “how difficult,” “how important,” “how fun,” etc.

We take the いadjective and remove the いat the end and replace it with さ. This is similar to adding “-ness” to the end of an adjective in English (e.g. “happiness” or “sadness”).
