Asking for and giving directions in English is necessary when you travel to an English-speaking country. This guide presents some of the vocabulary you will need to find your way and help others.
Also, it means requesting help to find a specific location, while giving directions involves clearly explaining a route to someone else. Both skills start with polite openers like “Excuse me” or “Could you help me.” These respectful phrases make people more willing to assist you.
Good stuff. I Just wanted to tell people that in the U.S. we say:
“Just keep going straight”.
Asking for directions another way:
Always start politely when asking for help:
- Excuse me, could you help me? – A polite way to get someone’s attention.
Excuse me, could you help me find the train station?
- Hello, can you help me, please? – A friendly greeting followed by a request for help.
Hello, can you help me, please? I’m looking for the museum.
