relearning

Mastering once more

Relearning is the process of learning something again after having forgotten it or after time away.

Skills and knowledge often return faster the second time: After years without practice, relearning piano took less time than she expected.

The term also applies to replacing old habits or beliefs with new ones: relearning how to trust after betrayal.
