"When one such languages has been mastered, the others will be understood as well,..."

Thanks

The sentence is saying they have learnt a language to a heightened/advanced level. I honestly would not say anybody has mastered a language, due to language changing all the time, and it's a lot of knowledge to acquire. But that is the general gist of it.
 
Thanks a lot :)
 
Note that it's 'one such language[STRIKE]s[/STRIKE]'.

Note that the s in 'languages' has been struck through. That might not be clear on your iPhones.
