Asking for and giving directions

Rehema: Excuse me could you tell me the way to the pharmacy?

Suzy: yes, it’s that the way, just go straight away after two houses turn left, it’s on the corner opposite the post office.

Rehema: Thanks, I’ have only been in town for a few days, so I really
don’t know my way around yet

Suzy: Oh! I know how you feel. I was born in this town so I know where everything is.

In giving directions:

1. Use transitions: After that, then, next, when you get to……… go

2. Specify distance: Some people feel better knowing how long it will take to get to 3. their destination, example "it’s about five minutes away."

4. Use landmarks: "You will see large clock", "You will see blue large building."

5. More useful language: It’s on [street name], It's opposite ...., It’s near.....

6. Repeat yourself: If you repeat the direction again, the other person will feel comfortable.

7. ClarifyMake sure that the person understands your directions, example "did you get all that?"

8. Don’t guessI am sorry, I'm not from here, I'm afraid I can’t help you."
