Bonjour! My name is David! Welcome! Follow me on In this video tutorial lesson you will learn how to say to know (savoir) in French. It is very important to note that there are two ways of saying to know in French. The first one is savoir. Basically you use this verb to describe factual information. You can use it to describe your abilities and things that you know how to do by heart. Most importantly you use this to describe facts that you know to be true or not. If you wish to say whether or not you know a person or you are familiar with a certain field of expertise or a place you would use a different verb for to know: Connaître. The distinction between these two verbs can cause issues for people who are learning French. Note that Spanish, Italian and Portuguese also differentiate between these two ways of saying to know in the same manner. In a future lesson I will go into this subject further with example sentences to help you better understand the difference.
