Getting to the Airport

You ask a local for the best way to get to the airport.

You
Disculpe, ¿cómo llego al aeropuerto?
dees-KOOL-peh, KOH-moh YEH-goh ahl ah-eh-roh-PWER-toh?
Excuse me, how do I get to the airport?
"Aeropuerto" is the same word across all Spanish-speaking countries.
Local
Tiene que tomar la carretera principal y seguir derecho.
tee-EH-neh keh toh-MAR lah kah-rreh-TEH-rah preen-see-PAHL ee seh-GEER deh-REH-choh.
You have to take the main highway and keep going straight.
"Carretera" refers to a highway or main road, not a city street.
You
¿Está lejos de aquí?
ehs-TAH LEH-hehs deh ah-KEE?
Is it far from here?
Local
No mucho. Más adelante va a ver las señales para el aeropuerto.
noh MOO-choh. mahs ah-deh-LAHN-teh vah ah vehr lahs seh-NYAH-lehs PAH-rah ehl ah-eh-roh-PWER-toh.
Not very far. Up ahead you'll see the signs for the airport.
"Más adelante" is a very common way to say "further ahead" or "up ahead."
You
Perfecto, muchas gracias por su ayuda.
pehr-FEHK-toh, MOO-chahs GRAH-see-ahs pohr soo ah-YOO-dah.
Perfect, thank you very much for your help.
