Familiar is an adjective (e.g., 'The face is familiar'), while familiarize is the verb action of learning.
While related etymologically, family refers to people you are related to, not the act of learning.
Nutzungshinweise
In most cases, this verb is used with a reflexive pronoun (myself, yourself, himself, etc.) followed by the preposition 'with'. It is more formal than simply saying 'get to know'.
Häufige Fehler
Learners often forget the reflexive pronoun and the preposition 'with'. Do not say 'I familiarized the rules'; say 'I familiarized myself with the rules'.
