Hi Phuong,

‘Realise’ gives the idea of understand having thought about something and ‘recognise’ suggests know something/someone by sight or understanding.

Examples:

I realise now what you meant when you explained the meaning but at first I didn’t understand.

I recognised Charlie as my old school friend as soon as I saw that photo taken thirty years ago of our class.

I really understood all the contest about the speech that you give us in that one… I am in Costa Rica and the really problem that I need to correct in my English is the accent and the Grammatical side… I practicing all the Vocabulary and the listening part to improve …Thanks.

Hi,

It is a very interesting topic especially the difference between " to see a painting" and " to look at a painting" . I remember, when I first study English, how I struggled to get it. It quite funny that when you learn a foreign language, you feel that almost every word has multiple meanings or senses depending on the context. Of course,the truth is that even in your mother tounge most of the words do not have only one sense but you are familiar with all of them that you use them without difficulty.
