An excellent practical lesson on giving and receiving directions. In this lesson I discuss how to give and receive directions. This is also excellent practice on prepositions.
For all fellows that don’t live in USA, follow below some common streets suffixes abbreviations. I have doing too much job outside and my GPS has taught a lot.
Avenue(AVE); Boulevard (BLVD); Circle(CIR); Court(CT); Extension(EXT); Gardens(GDNS); Highway(HWY); Lane(LN); Parkway (PKWY); Road(RD); Shore(SHR); Square(SQ); Street(ST); Terrace(TER); Trail(TRL); Turnpike(TPKE); Valley(VLY);
Thanks Jon is very helpful to know directions.You are excellent teacher.Do you have skype maybe we can speak together my skype is carabas24.Peace out Dorin from Moldova.
sir Jon,,, hello… can u give a lesson about the rule of combining noun and pronoun in a sentence… like “Jon and I or Jon and me”. I’ll wait for this from you.
John, tell me something. When you say DIRECTION it sounds like D[:i]rection but there is another pronuncation like D[:i]rection (something like wide, wife). I hope you get what i mean. Are they both correct?
Unfortunately, English is not as consistent as Spanish for example, so you will here many variations depending on where the ‘native’ speaker is from. My suggestion is that you listen to native speakers from Australia, Ireland, Scotland, Canada, New Zealand, the U.S. and England, etc. Choose the accent that you would like to hear and practice with their pronunciation. Good luck.
Sir Jon, hello, I’m curious why you didn’t reply our comments. Are you still reading it? Anyway, I want to ask you a favor about a lesson using a conjunction “and” and “or” in a subject or predicate of a sentence.
Sorry about taking so long. I will take note of your request. Thanks.
Awesome video Jon !!! Regards from Brazil
That’s the best website to learn and understand English!!And I hope to keep learning from all of you qualified teachers !!!
Thanks. I lived in Recife for about 6 months in 2006. It’s a beautiful country and the people were very nice and friendly.
i hope you’ll give us more useful lessons like this next time, Jon. we don’t need to go to English Center, just stay at home and watch your videos.Studying English become more effectively than other way. thank you and your lessons very much ^^
Thank you Jon. It was very helpful lesson. I got 5 correct answer :-) But prepositions are not to easy to understand and use. There are meany of them which have the same or similar meaning!!! Maybe you can prepare a video lesson about this subject… Thanks
ThkQ Jon, nice and useful lesson. BTW, What’s a Court (Crt) What kind of street is that?
Another question, when one says opposite (meaning across from), does he have to use the preposition to, (opposite to…)?
Hi, Jon. I`m a teacher from Kazakhstan and thank you for your good lesson.These are good ways to explain students all the material. It`s so simple and understandable!!!!!Thank`s a lot!!!!!I enjoyed !
this is cool! i’ve been looking for something that could help me in learning expressions to use when giving directions. is there more? especially if you’re on the road?
But, what people need to learn, are the street corner directions: Is this the Southwest corner? How do you know, from there, how do they get to the next place, and turn left on the NorthEast corner?
Thank you so much for your marvelous lessons.:) I just would like to make sure that I could use ‘make right/left’ instead of ‘turn right/left’. Actually, I’ve heard lots of people saying ‘make a left and go straight’. I would appreciate it if you could reply me when you have time.
If I want to ask about certain building, what should I say? “How can I get to ten Main street?” Is it write?
And how can I say about a building on, for example, 6th avenue? “How can I get to nine hundred sixth avenue?” Is it write?
Please, answer both questions.

Sir jon, thanks.its really intresting video.
Where’s the library? Tim: It’s on the corner of Ontario Street and Maple Syrup Avenue.
The second one “at, in” could be nice too?
I would not say “in the corner”. “At the corner” means very close to, so people would understand, but I think “on the corner” is the best answer.
yes. MR ITHINK THAT ALSO AND thank you very much you`r very talent
thank you it’s helpful
thank u veryuch for this intresting lesson
