Asking for Directions – Today’s French

Demander son chemin – Le français d’aujourd’hui

Riding the French metro is really easy. However, getting to the station isn’t always a piece of cake. Soon, you’ll be in France and there will surely be a time when you’ll need to ask for directions. This worksheet has the rvocabulary and practice for you to not get lost on your way to a hotel or a French restaurant.

The way to say ‘Asking for Directions’ is ‘Demander le chemin’ or ‘Demander son chemin’. You’d think that by just knowing ‘où est’ – ‘where is’ – you’d be all set to find your way in France. Well, there’s a bit more to it than that.

10 phrases to ask your way around in France

* Excuse me… …. Pardon (OU Bonjour) [Madame, Monsieur]…

* I’m lost. …. Je suis perdu/e.

* Where is…? …. Où est OU Où se trouve… ?
