About this episode

This episode explores the differences between the words 'meet' and 'see' in everyday English usage.

Hi! Nice to meet you. It's nice to see you! Meet and see. These seem like simple words, right? They both relate to spending time with another person, but sometimes meet and see can be confusing. Can you say, “Nice to see you” the first time you meet someone? Or, “I’m meeting my friend for dinner” even though you already know them? And what’s the difference between, “I met Jack yesterday” and “I saw Jack yesterday”? Yeah… there’s actually more going on here than you might think. So today, we’re going to look at how people really use meet and see in everyday English.
