你好 Benny! I was wondering how I can say “turn left” and “turn right” in chinese characters. I have already watched the Taxi language lesson, however I can’t write the chinese characters as it is in the video. What I can write is 左拐 (zuoguai) for turn left and 右拐 (youguai) for turn right! But it isn’t like it’s in the lesson!!

What is in the lesson is 左转 (zuo zhuan) for turn left and 右转 (you zhuan) for turn right .

Can you get my doubt?
Thank You

Hi Iury, in our video, turn left is “zuǒ zhuǎn 左转”, turn right is "yòu zhuǎn 右转“

We have several ways of saying turn right and turn left in China. In the video we teach you the standard one, but “zuǒ guǎi and yòu guai” are also fine, you can use them, no problem
