Asking for directions is the first thing we need to do when we get to a different country. Knowing how to ask for help can make our life much easier! Here are some tips for you.

Use greetings and polite expressions: Starting the conversation with a friendly greeting is a must. If you want to get a great answer, begin by saying “hello” first. And finish with a “thank you” and “have a nice day”.

Examples: Excuse me, could you help me?/ Hello! May I ask for some help? / I need to get to the CN tower.

Build your vocabulary: You should know the basic vocabulary that can be used when getting directions. Try to remember places like High Park, Queen Street, and words like traffic lights, bank, block, etc.

Examples: It’s about two blocks away from here. /Go along the street until you reach the traffic lights.

Learn the most commonly used prepositions and adverbs: Some important prepositions to remember are between, next to, and straight ahead. And the adverbs nears, nearer, and nearest are very useful when you need to find somewhere fast.

Examples: The zoo is straight ahead. / It’s between a bank and a post office.

Try to know some important landmarks: Every city in the world has its own landmarks. You can cut down on search time if you know what the important landmarks are.

Examples: It is next to the CN Tower! Go past the Aquarium and then turn left.
