IS #186 โ Explaining Directions over the Phone
Give and receive directions clearly in Korean โ even without being able to point.
Iru Helper Note
Giving directions over the phone is harder than in person because you can't point. Korean direction phrases are landmark-based โ you navigate by what you see, not compass points. ๋์ค๋ฉด, ๋์ค์๋ฉด (when you come out) is a key linking phrase.

(When you come out of the subway station, you'll see a convenience store right on the right. Just go straight from there.)

๐ Cultural Note โ Landmark Navigation in Korea
Korean directions are almost always landmark-based, not street-name-based. Streets rarely have names in common usage โ instead, people say ํธ์์ ์์ (next to the convenience store), ์ํ ์์ (in front of the bank), ์นดํ ์ง๋์ (past the cafรฉ). When you hear Korean directions, follow the landmarks, not abstract points. ๋์ค์๋ฉด (when you come out) and ~ ์ด ๋ณด์ด๋ฉด (when you see ~) are the two most important linking phrases in any direction chain.

Grammar Tip
-์๋ฉด (if/when you [do]) is the polite conditional: ๋์ค์๋ฉด = "when you come out," ๊ฑด๋์๋ฉด = "when you cross." This makes directions sound guided and natural rather than commanding. ์ง์งํ์๋ฉด ๋ผ์ = "if you go straight, that'll work / just go straight."
