Have you ever wanted to go to a place either in Germany or Austria and just don’t know how to get there? You ask for directions and some nice guy gives it to you in German and you just have no clue what he is saying. Or have you ever wanted to give directions to a german speaking person and you just don’t know what to do? If you have been in this dilema here are a few words for giving directions. I hope it is useful for you :). If not then why not join me at the Deutschakademie where you will get to learn so much more.
