The intro 

(Listening Comprehension)

When you're learning how to drive, when you're training for you new job, or when it's your first time using your new iPhone, people would often say to you, "你慢慢就会掌握得到。" In English, one of the ways to express "掌握" is: "Once you've got the hang of it, it will become easier." This is what my driving instructor told me when I first stepped into the car…Obviously, I still haven't got the hang of it yet.

You could of course use the word “understand” in situations like this. It’s just “once you have got the hang of it” is a more suitable expression. The word “understand” is more applicable for an idea. While “once you have got the hang of it” is for technical stuff e.g. learning how to: drive, bicycle, use a new computer programme, etc.
