Directions (part 1 of 2)

Picture yourself in the middle of an unfamiliar Latin American city, unsure which way to go. After this quiz, that moment turns into an easy chat instead of a problem. You'll know how to stop a friendly passerby, admit Estoy perdida, and actually understand the answer you get back.

In this part of the conversation, Sofía asks a local how to reach an art museum on foot. You'll practice the essential vocabulary of street navigation: counting cuadras to know how far to walk, spotting landmarks along the route, and following instructions such as Doble a la izquierda when it's time to turn. These phrases become useful the moment you step off a plane, whether you're hunting for a museum, a restaurant, or your hotel. And because the exchange uses the polite usted form throughout, you'll also get comfortable with the register locals expect when strangers speak on the street.
