How to state in Spanish where towns and cities are located using the points of the compass. This is another video in the series of videos related to finding your way around in Spain or Latin America and understanding directions and locations in Spanish. In this Spanish video lesson you will learn how to describe exactly where places are located in a country and the activity gives you the opportunity to practice what you have learned by describing the location of various Spanish cities. You can, of course, practice with other towns and cities, not only in Spain, but in your own country as well. The key to learning a foreign language is always to practice and practice and I always recommend that you do this as little and often as possible. If you feel bored and tired while you are studying Spanish then nothing will go in. You need to stop and take a break and always try to find subject matter and activities that are interesting, practical and fun.
