reacquainting
Getting to know
Reacquainting is the process of becoming familiar again with someone or something after a period of distance or neglect.
You might spend an afternoon reacquainting yourself with an old neighborhood, or reacquainting with a former colleague at a reunion: After twenty years abroad, she's reacquainting herself with American life.
