Important issues when giving directions
- Use basic English to offer directions.
- Short phrases are best.
- Speak slowly.
- Use clear pronunciation.
- Spell out words if necessary.
In giving directions:
- Use transitions: After that, then, next, when you get to……… go
- Specify distance: Some people feel better knowing how long it will take to get to their destination, example "it’s about five minutes away."
- Use landmarks:"You will see large clock", "You will see blue large building."
- More useful language: It’s on [street name], It's opposite ...., It’s near .....
- Repeat yourself: If you repeat the direction again, the other person will feel comfortable.
- Clarify:Make sure that the person understands your directions, example "did you get all that?"
- Don’t guess: I am sorry, I'm not from here, I'm afraid I can’t help you."
