こんにちは！

I made a new lesson on the differences between "分かる (wakaru)" and "知る (shiru)". I talked about these differences before, but I've added more examples and added a lot more new points you should learn!! (e.g. How to use 分かっている, 分かっていない)

This longer version is exclusive to you Patrons and I also left the timestamps in the comment section so you can just jump to the parts you haven't learned yet!

I hope you enjoy this lesson and please let me know if you have questions :)
