Common mistakes
I need to familiarize with the new system.I need to familiarize myself with the new system.
familiarize 是及物动词，后面必须接宾语（如 myself）再接 with；汉语“熟悉某事物”常省略宾语，导致学习者漏掉反身代词 myself。加上的 myself 表示“使自己熟悉”，宾语不能省略。
I'm trying to familiarize myself to the new rules.I'm trying to familiarize myself with the new rules.
familiarize 的固定搭配是 familiarize...with...，表示“使…熟悉…”，介词用 with 而非 to，with 引出被熟悉的对象。
I am familiarize with this software.I am familiar with this software.
be 动词后应接形容词 familiar 表示状态“熟悉的”；familiarize 是动词，表示“使熟悉”的动作。句中主语是“我”，表达“我熟悉软件”这一状态，所以用 familiar。

Learner notes
Memory Tip
familiar（熟悉的）加上-ize（使…化），就是“使熟悉”；联想：把陌生人变成熟悉的人。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：instructional writing、workplace training、academic writing 该词为中性偏正式用语，多用于书面说明、培训或学术语境；日常口语中较少使用，对话中常用 get to know 等更口语化的表达。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些 -ize 词与 familiarize 拼写和结尾发音相似，但主重音位置不同（familiarize 的重音在第二音节 mil），因此均不与之真正押韵；它们是“看拼写像、听声音不同”的典型例子。
