Hiatus, ingrained

Hi,

1) When a TV show (f.i. Riverdale) takes a break during a season, can I say that 'it goes on hiatus' or does it sound weird? It means the same as 'going on a break,' but I'm not sure if it's a common word.

2) "You have to solve a lot of mathematical problems before the rules become ingrained (fixed) in your mind." Is there a different way I could say this? I was wondering if there's a word I could replace 'get' with in the following sentence. "You have to solve a lot of mathematical problems to get all the rules into your head." I know that I cannot use 'ingrain something into your head,' but is there a similar word I could use here? I can't think of anything off the top of my head right now.

Thank you.
