[Moreno] Asking & Giving Directions - English180 Lesson 4

[signalhunt]

Hi welcome to another broad cast. I’m head coach Andres Moreno and today, we are in Vail, Colorado.  We’re going to be talking about asking and giving directions.  Are you ready?  I have my map and I’m ready, so follow me. 

Hi as you can see, I’m looking at my map.  I’m trying to find an ATM and a pizza place in Vail.  But, I’m lost, so I’m gonna ask some people to see if they can give directions.  

Hi, excuse me, my name is Andres.  How’re you, Andres.  What’s your name?  Adam, and yours?  Brendan.  Guys, I’m trying to find out Pazzo’s pizzeria, do you know where I can find them Adam?  I sure could.  You wanna go right down the street here.  Down this street, ok.  Take a left after cross the bridge.  Ok so I go down this street and then take left after the bridge.  It will be on my left.  Ok, so those’re some keywords.  [see screen…]  I’m also trying to find ATM, have seen them around here?  ATM is the same way, straight down the street (listen to that), he said it’s the same ay down the street, cross the bridge to the right.  So I’m gonna find Pazzos’ pizzeria on the left and the ATM on the right.  So I’m actually gonna go to ATM first because if not, they not gonna sell me any pizzas all right.  I’m out ta here see you in a bit.  Good luck.  Thanks. 

Hi, How are you?  I’m very good.  How are you?  What’s your name?  Marriette.   We are here with Marriette.  My name is Andres Moreno.  I’m trying to find an ATM.. These guys before pointed us into wrong direction.  So, Marriette, do you know where an ATM is?  Yes, there is an ATM about block up on your left.  So did you hear that about block up on my left.  What does on my left mean?  Do I have to turn on my left to see it?  Yes, it’s on your left.   So block up and onto your left.  Ok, we’re also looking for Pazzos’ Pizzaria, do you know where that is?  Yes, that will be down the street about two blocks and then left about two blocks and then you’ll see it on your left.  Ok, so that’s difficult one.  Let’s see down this street, then two blocks to the left, to the left again and then I’m gonna see it to my left.  OK, we’re gonna try to find this place, finally have some pizza.  Also on this first street, you go over the bridge.   Marriate, that’s a lot for your help, good luck.  Pleasure meeting you, bye!  Bye now.. huhu.. 

As you can see I’m still lost.  It’s really cold and I’m trying to heat up here, but uh…you know I still can’t find the pizza place.  I think you look lost.. I am lost.  I am Andres, how are you?  Jess, how are you.  Jess is gonna help us.  Jess, I’m trying to find Pazzos’ Pizzaria, do you have any clue where it is?  Yeah, you just passed it, you wanna go up and around the corner and have a blocks.  Ok, so she said, I just passed it, which is not a good excuse, that means I just walk and right passed it and didn’t see it.  Where is it again?  You wanna go up one block and take a left.  Up one block, what does that mean?  You wanna go down the street, maybe about fifty yards or so, and then you wanna take a left.  So I’ve been taking four or five left I’m thinking end up at wring place.  You know what I trust Jess, this time I think I’m gonna finally have some pizza.  So you know we’re almost there.  

So I finally found the bridge.  It’s supposed to be crossing the bridge and to my left.  That’s where the pizza place should be.  Finally I’m gonna get some food.  Can you believe it?  Ice cream with this weather?  No way!  We still get to keep going to find the pizza place.  Apparently we already crossed the bridge, we took a left, and we have to walk up two blocks to finally find it.  

So we finally found Pazzos’ Pizzaria, I can’t wait to finally go in.  We found it because I was told us it was going to be next to an art gallery.  So here is the art gallery, right next to it, Pazzos’ Pizzaria.  Another reference point was that was told us it is in front of arts’ bar.  Si if we look at the cross the street, it’s right in front of art’s bar. So remember ‘next to’ ‘in front of’ and we finally here.   So, that’s the end of this broad cast, it’s time for me to have pizza.  See you next week and good bye.  

Well I didn’t have my pizza because you know what?  I forgot take money out of the ATM.  But, supposably, it’s only a block away, at least that what they told me.  Umm wish me luck, see you next week for another broad cast… come on… [yes we gotta get that…]
