In Spanish, there are two verbs that can express the idea of knowing:
saber and conocer.
It's important to know the differences between the two because they're not interchangeable. Let's learn the meaning of these two very important verbs!
Saber
Saber is used to talk about facts or learned skills. You can use it to talk about information you've memorized or to say you are able to swim, draw, speak a language, etc.
Conocer is used to express familiarity (or lack thereof) with a person, place, or thing. For example you can know, or be familiar with, a book, a movie, a country, or a certain person.
