Now that you know everything there is to know about asking and understanding directions in Spanish, let’s put it to a little bit of a test. I want you to visualize the following three scenarios, then picture the conversation that would take place in those scenarios, were they to happen.
This is a great way for you to cement everything you learned and make sure you really understand that.
Let’s get started!
¡Empecemos!
1) You just arrived in a new city and are looking for an apartment to rent out. You find somebody on the street who seems like a local. Ask them where you can find the specific address.
2) A couple comes up to you in the park and asks you how to get to the local art museum. Give them directions on how to find it.
3) You’re with some Spanish speaking friends and they’re talking about how to get to their favorite taco stand. They spoke too quickly. Ask them to repeat the instructions more slowly.
Answer the questions using this map as a reference.
