Asking for or giving directions If you are a tourist or a stranger in any strange place, you can easily get lost. Although you have a very useful nevigation in your smartphone, it is not simple to find the right way. At that time, asking for directions is one of the wonderful solutions for those who are lost. They just know several megical sentences like "Excuse me, do you know where the subway station is?", " Excuse me, how can I get to the subway station?" or "Excuse me, I am looking for the subway station. Can you give me the directions?". After you use these sentences to those who live in there, you can get answers that you are supposed to be. (or that you expect.) On the other hand, you can also give directions to others who need the information. At that moment, you can use several helpful phrases such as "go straight", "turn left or right", "take a left or a right" or "keep going.". For example, you can say the next sentences. "OK. If you go to the subway station from here, at first, go straight. And if you see a movie theater on your left side, turn left on the road. And go straight 2 blocks. You can see the starbucks building after the bank. And just turn around the corner at the starbucks. And then you can find the subway station." :) Please if you know any good expressions to ask for directions or to give directions, let me know the examples. I want to learn more and more English expressions. Thank you for reading this writing. :)

Today My study. I had a lesson yesterday with a tutor. I could learn a few new English expressions and have a chance to rethink several phrases I've already known. It was truely useful experience. I just use the word "will" as an auxiliary verb. If I wanted to say something in the future, I could easily add it before a verb like "I go there." can convert to "I will go there." Also, I hardly use the phrase "~going to". It has a very same meaning with 'will'. But because of its length, I prefer 'will' word to it. Think about it. As for the English learner, a long phrase means that it makes me very nervous. :) Anyway, I never recognized any differences between will and ~going to regardless of the length. However since the wonderful lesson, I exactly learnt the subtle meaning gaps. If someone wants to say about something that will happen in very near future or almost instantly, he or she would better use 'will'. It is more natural and clearer. However, in the other cases, for example if someone think of something taking time and finally make a decision, then '~ going to' is fitter than 'will'. I understood the difference from bewteen them is a length of the time interval. Of course, it is ridiculous to determine all the terms. However I thought it needs a standard for the language learners. Thankfully, the tutor gave me several examples. And I've almost got them. Anyway, it remains a practice in order to master the expression. It's just up to me. :) I'll do all of my efforts to learn the English.

I don't know! Learning new language is very mind boggling!!! Sometimes I think if I am a native English speaker, is it good? I feel some pressures from our society to study English since I was an elementary school student. It seems that every Korean is mad to speak English. From babies and to adults many koreans spend their time and money to study it. And someone desperately try to make results that believe it to prove their "English" abilities through the TOEIC score or other English tests. I already followed this stream like others and got a good TOEIC score. But it is just score rather than the real abilities. OTL... How difficult it is... ㅠㅠ

I think English is very difficult. English is extremely difficult for me. I've studied it almost for 10 years including my middle school and high school period. In addition, I enrolled a private institute to learn English for years. But I still feel difficult while using it. Are there any good methods to master an English language? If you know something, let me know it. Although I cannot change and rebuild my own liguistic abilities, I'd like to try something, effective ways. Thank you. :)
