Abstract
In this tutorial I try by means of several examples to illustrate the basic definitions and concepts of differentiable manifolds. There are few proofs (not that there are ever many at this level of the theory). This material should be sufficient to understand the use made of these concepts in the other contributions in this volume, or, at least, it should help in explaining the terminology employed.
