Ten phrases to practise

- Can you show me on the map?

- Do I turn left or right?
- Is it near ___?
- Am I going the right way?
- Can you repeat that more slowly?
Use the Four Finger Rule
ASK → PLACE → DIRECTION → CONFIRM
Start with “Excuse me” to get someone’s attention politely. Name the place, show a map if useful, then check the direction you understood. A short follow-up is better than walking away unsure.
Put it together
“Excuse me. How do I get to the station? Can you show me on the map? So I turn left here?”
