"ようにor ような" originally means "like" in English. Examples would be:
あなたのように日本語が話せたらいいなあ。(I wish I could speak Japanese like you.)
彼女は天使のようだ。(She looks like an angel.)
"ように" after verbs means "to start," like the following examples.
病人は歩けるようになった。(The patient started walking."
うちの娘は話せるようになった。(My daughter started to talk.)
As a result it could mean "possibility."
In this case... "ããã«" will be something as "able to".
