relearns

Picks up again

Relearns is the third-person singular of relearn—to learn again something previously known but forgotten or neglected.

Skills atrophy without practice, requiring relearning: She relearns the piano after twenty years away from it.

The process often goes faster than original learning, as traces of the old knowledge remain.
