01

Take a closer look

Good directions start from a known location. Short steps and landmarks help more than many instructions at once. Follow-up questions check whether the explanation was understood.

02

Now try it

  1. Draw a simple map with a school, park and library. Label it in English.
  2. Act out a conversation: “Excuse me, how do I get to the library?” Use “turn left”, “go straight on” and a follow-up question.

03

Think it through

How can you politely ask for directions?

See a suggested answer

For example: “Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the library, please?” Several polite expressions are possible.
