Spanish Directions: Where Do I Go?
Finding your way in a Spanish speaking location can be
a real adventure, as they often talk very FAST and words that sound similiar
can have very different meanings - such as "derecho" which
means straight, and "la derecha" which means the
right. You might encounter something like "da la vuelta a
la derecha y sigue derecho media cuadra" - turn right and
keep going straight half a block. Spoken in rapid fire that can be
pretty confusing! Memorizing the words below can help get you off on
the right foot.
