Lost in England: giving directions for Beginners

This video was so hard to make that we never made the American version. See the real-english.com website for the story.

This is a CC video:
Note: A "CC Double" video is composed of two parts:
1 - The regular video, followed by
2 - The same video with subtitles.


Students of English: To improve your pronunciation, always study the version WITHOUT subtitles before reading the subtitled versions!

number 4, first to the left, and she points to the RIGHT?!

[realenglish1]

@iso900a - Good observation. Most people miss that, so it has become a classroom activity to "find the error".

[michaelimk23]

why go up, go down, straight down, straight up ??

why do they use "down, up"

I know that go down is for hill

[realenglish1]

@michaelimk23 VERY good question. A hill is not necessary, to define "up"! It's all about relative considerations of space like "Uptown" and "Downtown" in NYC.

[gohshuifa]

can you and could you both are fine?

[realenglish1]

Yes, they're both fine. "Could you" is more polite than "Can you3. -Mike
