Giving Directions to Your Driver

Your driver isn't sure exactly where to go and you need to guide them.

Driver
¿Por dónde voy? No conozco bien esta zona.
por DOHN-deh voy? noh koh-NOHS-koh byehn EHS-tah SOH-nah.
Which way do I go? I don't know this area well.
You
Siga derecho dos cuadras y luego doble a la derecha.
SEE-gah deh-REH-choh dohs KWAH-drahs ee LWEH-goh DOH-bleh ah lah deh-REH-chah.
Go straight two blocks and then turn right.
'Cuadras' means blocks — Latin Americans often give directions using blocks rather than street names.
You
Un poco más adelante. Ahí, en la esquina.
oon POH-koh mahs ah-deh-LAHN-teh. ah-EE, en lah ehs-KEE-nah.
A little further ahead. Right there, on the corner.
Driver

Is here okay?
You
Sí, aquí es perfecto. Muchas gracias.
see, ah-KEE ehs pehr-FEHK-toh. MOO-chahs GRAH-syahs.
Yes, right here is perfect. Thank you very much.
