In a town or city and directions in Spanish

Beginner Spanish Review Lesson 8 In a town or city and directions in Spanish

1. Please translate the following streets and avenues to Spanish. For example: “Bond Street” will be “La calle Bond”:

– Central Avenue
– Colorado Street
– Matías Street
– Cortés Avenue
– Rosario Street

2. Next, I am going to give you some directions in Spanish and I would like you to translate them to English:

– Todo recto, la segunda a la izquierda
– Todo recto, la primera a la derecha, al final de la calle
– La cuarta a la derecha, todo recto y la tercera a la derecha
– La primera a la izquierda, todo recto, al final de la calle a la derecha
– Todo recto, la tercera a la izquierda

3. Let´s practice now some vocabulary of typical buildings. I will say some in Spanish and you have to say what they are in English:

– El ayuntamiento
– La carnicería
– El cine
– La panadería
– La librería
– Correos
– El centro comercial
– La biblioteca

4. Now from English to Spanish. Don´t forget to use “el” or “la” before the word:

– The police station
– The train station
– The restaurant
– The church
– The fruit shop
– The supermarket
– The theatre
– The leisure centre

5. Next, let´s practice some questions. How do you ask where these places are in Spanish?

– The town hall
– A restaurant
– A book shop
– The bus station
– The church
– A supermarket
– A shoe shop
– The police station

6. Finally, let´s see if you can understand these locations with prepositions of place:

– A lado de la iglesia
– Enfrente de la panadería
– En la esquina, al lado de la cafetería
– Detrás del quiosco
– Entre la frutería y la carnicería
– Delante de la estación de tren
– Enfrente de Correos
– Al lado del ayuntamiento

So this is all for today.

I hope this practice has been useful for you. When you travel to a Spanish speaking country for sure you will be able to practice all this by asking people where places are or, you never know, someone who is lost might ask you how to get somewhere.

See you next time with another interactive review Spanish lesson.
