They spoke too fast — asking them to slow down and repeat.

没听清，再说一遍 · 8 turns · you say 4 lines

  1. Them

    Go past the lights, second right, then it's on your left.

  2. You

    Sorry, could you say that again more slowly?

  3. Them

    Of course. Walk past the traffic lights first.

  4. You

    Past the lights. And then which turn?

  5. Them

    Take the second right, not the first.

  6. You

    Second right. And it's on the left side?

  7. Them

    Exactly. You can't miss the blue sign.

  8. You

    Now I've got it. Thanks for your patience.
