DIRECTIONS (道案内 or みちあんない)


FUN FACT: This page has no fact submitted yet. Send us one! (Make sure to include a link to this page in your email.)


NOTE: Throughout the JHS textbooks, various Direction words and/or phrases are taught. They don't teach any new grammar, so I built this page in hopes to corral them all into one easy accessible webpage. We'll see how this goes. This page will most likely keep getting tweeked to fine tune it to better meet your needs. If you have any comments, suggestions and/or complaints write them below.
