Hello, and thank you for watching VisiHow. Today, we have a tutorial on hospitality English dealing with asking for directions. In many cases, you may have a guest come and ask you some of these phrases, or you may also need to ask them yourself in order to direct someone.

1. 1
   The first phrase that we may hear when we are asking, or someone is asking us for directions is, "Can you tell me how to go to ___?" If somebody wants to go Quartino restaurant, or example, they may ask, "Can you tell me how to go Quartinos?"

   We may also hear, "What's the quickest way to Quartinos?", or "What's the fastest way to Quartinos?" For this question, we will need to know how the guest can get there quickest - if they can walk there fast by taking a side street or if there is a shortcut, if they can take a taxi, or if they can get on a bus or on the metro.

   Finally, we may hear, "Can I use the bus or the train?" The train may also be called the metro in some locations.
