Asking for directions

You're standing without phone signal in an unfamiliar city center and ask a passerby because you can't find the way to the museum.

These ten words help you ask for and follow directions on the street, like Kreuzung, Ampel and geradeaus. Each one comes with its pronunciation and a sentence you can say out loud.
