In the sentence below, can we use "done with" instead of "mastered with"?
Today I began to learn German language, and I am confident that I will master the language as I have mastered with English.
@oristarA,

No 'with' with 'mastered', Ori. With 'done' you need 'with'.
One masters English.
Here, the meaning of master is to be an expert at or acquire knowledge of.
One masters a language.
No need for the "with'
