Respellings follow the course’s say-it key; the stressed syllable is in capitals. Print this lesson’s flashcards (PDF) — the words on the front, the English and respelling on the back.
Town plus directions plus al / a la: ¿Cómo llego a la plaza? Siga derecho, luego gire a la derecha después de la panadería. Está enfrente del parque, al lado de la farmacia.
¿Cómo llego a…? — the compact way to ask the way. El mapa helps; el puente is the landmark every town has.
¿cómo llego a la plaza? is a complete question — how do I get to. And enfrente del parque: de + el fuses to del, never de el.
