reacquaint
Become familiar again
To reacquaint is to become familiar again with someone or something after a period of separation or neglect.
You might reacquaint yourself with the rules before playing a game you haven't touched in years, or reacquaint yourself with an old friend at a reunion.
The reflexive form dominates: one reacquaints oneself with things.
