Asking+Directions

Asking for directions
Maps and road signs can be confusing in countries that use more than one language, such as Switzerland and Luxemburg. In these countries, there are often multiple names for the same street which are used interchangeable. So, you might see one street name on a map and a completely different name on the actual street sign. The following phrases are typical of asking for directions in Italy. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
