conversant
Familiar with something
Conversant means familiar with or knowledgeable about a subject through study or experience: She's conversant with current tax law, He became conversant in the local customs.
The word suggests working familiarity rather than deep expertise—enough to discuss or navigate something competently, not necessarily to master it.
