Useful basics on this page
버스로, 지하철로: name your transport →학교에 버스로 가요.

I go to school by bus.

어디예요? Ask where a place is →학교가 어디예요?

Where is the school?

Notice the pattern

가세요 is a common polite request form of 가다 when giving directions. This lesson teaches the complete route phrases, not every use of the honorific or request ending. 쪽 ends in ㄱ, so 왼쪽 and 오른쪽 take 으로. Left and right depend on the person’s viewpoint: they are not universal compass directions. The map is schematic and gives no distances or real-world navigation advice.

Try it yourself

You stand at 출발 and face the station at the top. Which destination is on your left?

In that same viewpoint, which route phrase leads toward the school?

Which phrase means “Go straight, please”?

Build “Go to the left, please.”

…

If you turn around and face the start, do left and right stay the same relative to your body?

RETRIEVE BEFORE YOU REVEAL

Say it in your own time.

From the original viewpoint, give the direction to the school and then to the station.
