The yoku you're thinking of is an adverb of frequency meaning "often." In this case, it would normally be used with the positive, and amari would be used with the negative to mean "not much." Yoku is also an adverb meaning well, thoroughly, extremely, skillfully, etc. Yoku wakarimasen/yoku wakaranai is a phrase that you will hear often! Daniel-san,

I thought when using negatives yoku always became anmari. Is this assumption incorrect? I noticed that the phrase “yoku wakarimasen” was used during the conversation.
