Today we talked briefly about Saber and Conocer. I thought I'd touch it briefly again and provide you with some examples.
While Saber and conocer both mean “to know,” they represent two different types of knowledge that are not interchangeable. It is important to learn them and their conjugations.
Saber means
1. To know facts or information
- Sé la capital de España.
- Señor Mark sabe el número de libros en la biblioteca.
2. Know how to do something: saber + verb in infinitive form
- Señor Marvin sabe hablar español e inglés.
- Sabemos cocinar postres.
Conocer means
1. Be acquainted with someone (to know them)
- ¿Conoces a Pablo Neruda?
- Conozco a tu mamá.
- Conozco a Pedro.
2. Be familiar with a place or thing
- Conozco Wilmington, pero no conozco Clinton.
- Juan conoce el arte de Frida Kahlo.
Hope this is a bit clearer...

finding nemo was good but it is much funner to watch it while they talk spanish haha
I enjoyed watching the Finding Nemo movie in class. I was able to better identify the differences between Saber and Conocer.
I really enjoyed the Nemo movie we watched in class. It really helped me understand the difference between Saber and Conocer. I'm sure this was a great help to other students as well. AFredrick SCC SPA 111
I think watching cartoons takes the stress away. It is funnier in Spanish, but for some reason you guys tend to stress over listening in Spanish. My Spanish 2's watch Chicken Little and listen in Spanish.
I like soap-operas too. One of the best is Destinos.
I'm glad Nemo helped you see the differences between Saber and Conocer.
