Conducir Vs. Manejar
In this video, we compare the verbs “conducir” and “manejar”. These two verbs have different meanings, and can be used in completely different ways. But, the two meanings do have some overlap between them, so both verbs can be used as “to drive” (in Spain and Latin America, respectively). I show you some real-life examples (newspaper headlines) of exactly how and why that happens.
