This free Spanish audio lesson introduces the "Giving Directions in Spanish" series at docmolly.com. As requested by Bien, a listener, we will practice giving directions in Spanish within a hospital.
First, we will review the vocabulary. Then, we will use this vocabulary to give directions in Spanish. Normally we are speaking with strangers when we ask for and give directions. Therefore, we will use the Usted conjugation for all the verbs.
