BBC - DIRECTIONS



A woman asking for directions

  Directions

In this programme, we look at language you can use when asking for and giving directions.

We listen to our reporter Helen as she tries to find her way around London and the office and we look at different expressions she hears on her journeys

When you've listened to the programme, don't forget to practise what you've learned with the quizzes below!
