El Señor Salcedo

„ö“ ist besonders wichtig, wenn man zwischen Indikativ und Konjunktiv II wechseln möchte. Vor allem beim Verb: konnten - könnten

Die richtige Aussprache klingt im Englishen eigentlich wie das Wort Vogel „bird“. Man könnte das Wort auch wie  „börd“ aussprechen. 

Viel Spaß beim Hören, Erkennen und Mitmachen:

Lena öffnete fröhlich die große Holztröte. „Können wir morgen über die Brücke stöbern?“, tönte es plötzlich. Überrascht schob Lena die blöde Tröte zurück ins Körbchen. Ihr Löwe, der flauschige Stofflöwe, nickte. „Natürlich, Löwi! Aber vorher müssen wir flöten üben.“ Lena stöpselte den roten Kopfhörer an und drückte auf „Play“. Flötentöne flossen fröhlich durchs Zimmer. „Höchst motivierend!“, dachte Löwi, rollte sich zusammen und döste ein. Lena, glücklich über Löwis Geduld, spielte weiter. Doch plötzlich ertönte ein lauter Knall – das Stöpselgerät explodierte! „Blöd gelaufen!“, murrte sie, zog die Decke über Löwi und schlief ebenfalls ein.

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?
