Inglês Para Viagens - Aprenda A Pedir E Entender Coordenadas Em Inglês

Você já precisou pedir coordenadas para saber como chegar a um lugar determinado durante uma viagem em um país de língua inglesa?

Talvez a maneira mais fácil de dar instruções é mencionando os nomes das ruas. Boa idéia!, mas não é tão fácil assim, em países como Coréia, onde as ruas não têm nomes e não há nada que se possa fazer para mudar isso.

Nestes casos, você pode indicar um espaço e um ponto de referência. Outra forma comum de dar instruções é dizer a alguém em qual rua pode descer e para onde dobrar. A Professora Yanina Ávalos nos apresenta uma atividade para aprender a pedir e dar coordenadas em inglês.
