gets to know

Learns about someone

Gets to know is the process of becoming familiar with someone or something through experience or interaction.

You get to know a person by spending time with them, learning their habits, preferences, and character: It took months to really get to know her.

You can also get to know a place, a subject, or a situation: I'm still getting to know the neighborhood.
