About this episode

Two different verbs to say the same word. How confusing!

Don’t worry, in this beginner Spanish lesson we explain how these two similar yet very different verbs work. Listen in and learn how knowing things, people and places are dealt with in the Spanish language.

Here we help you understand which one of these verbs you would use when you know “someone” or when you know “stuff”!

For more on the difference between saber and conocer, have a look at our Spanish help-sheets.
