How to Talk About Directions in English | Ask & Give Directions Like a Local

Getting lost is stressful — especially when you don’t know how to ask for directions in English.
In this episode of SpeakLife English, Emily and Tom show you how to talk about directions in English naturally, politely, and confidently — just like a local.

You’ll learn how to:
✔ Ask for directions without sounding rude or robotic
✔ Stop saying “Where is the bank?” and sound more natural
✔ Understand locals when they speak too fast
✔ Slow the conversation down and confirm directions correctly
✔ Give clear directions using landmarks, intersections, and real-life phrases
✔ End conversations politely with natural English

This lesson is not about memorizing grammar rules.
It’s about real conversations, real situations, and real confidence.

🎧 Perfect for:
– beginners and lower-intermediate learners (A2–B1)
– travel English and daily life situations
– listening, shadowing, and speaking practice

👉 Practice tip:
