Brentoni's English Podcast

知道 (zhīdào) and 认识 (rènshi) are both verbs that can be translated as "to know" in English, but they have different meanings and uses.
知道 (zhīdào) means "to be aware of or to have knowledge of something." It is used to express that you have information or understanding about a fact or situation.
For example:
* 		我知道你的生日是什么时候。 (Wǒ zhīdào nǐ de shēngrì shì shénme shíhòu. ) - I know when your birthday is.
* 		你知道他的电话号码吗？ (Nǐ zhīdào tā de diànhuà hàomǎ ma?) - Do you know his phone number?
认识 (rènshi) means "to be familiar with or to have met someone." It is used to express that you have a personal connection with someone or have encountered them before.
For example:
* 		我认识你的妈妈。 (Wǒ rènshi nǐ de māma. ) - I know your mom.
* 		你认识他的弟弟吗？ (Nǐ rènshi tā de dìdi ma?) - Do you know his younger brother?

I’ll go over some words but before that here is a practical thing you can do: Record your own pronunciation to your phone and then listen to my version and compare the two.
I found this to be of use when I got my students right in the class to record their voices and then had them listen – wow – it’s like and ‘aha moment’ for them, a moment of realization, a moment of transformation.
So, here I am – helping you to transform from A to B. Let’s be that Speaker that we dream to B.
