Could you please help by correcting anything that's wrong or unnatural in my sentences?
You can change the order of the sentences, do whatever you want!
I'd like to learn some common phrases and slang！ 🙇♂️
Also, I'd like to get your advice on talking to foreign people
I look forward to your constructive comments.✍️
By the way, "A" is me and "B" is a foreigner.
B: Excuse me? Do you know where Hara community centre?
A: Yeah, I know.
B: Can you tell me how to get to there?
A: Sure! Well, Is it okay you don't take notes?
B: Yeah, it's ok.
A: Okay, right. From here you need to turn right there, and then again turn right at the end. And turn left at the next corner. Then you'll see a straight road. Go straight there. From here, my memory is a little fuzzy, I guess, take the first or second turn to the left. If it dead-ends at a house, that's not the corner, so go ahead and look for another corner! If you see a corner where the road seems to continue, turn left there, I guess the second corner. And then keep going straight and you will see a house on the left surrounded by trees, that's the community center. Sorry, that was complicating to explain. Let me say it
one more time.
B: Oh, you're so kind. Thank you. So actually, let me take notes.
A: First, turn right there. Secondly, turn right at the end. Thirdly, turn left at the next corner. Fourthly, if you see a straight road, go straight. Lastly, you turn left and go straight at the road that seems to continue, and then a house on the left surrounded by trees is the one. Are you going to be OK? Let me see.
B: Yeah, ok!
A: Yes, looks ok. If I'm not mistaken in my explanation. haha
B: I hope so. haha
A: If it doesn't seem to work, ask someone else again. Good luck.
B: That's a big help. Thank you so much! Have a nice day!
A: You too!

Also, I'd like to get your advice on talking to foreign peopleers.
*foreign people
Technically correct, but "foreigners" is more natural.

By the way, "A" is me and "B" is a foreigner.
B: Excuse me?
Do you know where the Hara cCommunity cCentre is?
A: Yeah, I knowdo.
*I know
"I know" by itself is technically correct, but is generally used in the context of "I know (so you don't have to say anything else)."
More natural alternatives are:
A: Yeah, I know where it is.
A: Yeah.
B: Can you tell me how to get to there?
A: Sure!
Weill, Is it okay you don't take notes you be fine without writing this down?
I'm not sure what you're saying here, so I made my best guess. Similarly, you could say, "Will you be fine if you don't take notes?"
B: Yeah, it's ok.
A: Okay, right.
From here you need to turn right there, and then again turn right again at the end.
And turn left at the next corner.
Then you'll see a straight road.
Go straight there.
From here, my memory is a little fuzzy,. I guess,... take the first or second turn to the left.
If it dead-ends at a house, that's not the corner, so go ahead and look for another corner!
If you see a corner where the road skeemps to continuegoing, turn left there, I guess the second corner.
*seems to continue
Your phrase was grammatically correct, but "keeps going" is more natural.
And then keep going straight and you willuntil you see a house on the left surrounded by trees, t. That's the community center.
*and you will see
Again, what you wrote is perfectly fine. I just gave the way a native speaker would be more likely to give the last direction.
Sorry, that was complicatinged to explain.
Let me say it
one more time.
B: Oh, you're so kind.
Thank you.
So actually, let me take notes.
A: First, turn right there.
Secondly, turn right at the end.
*Secondly
Technically correct, but I think most native speakers will just use "second, third, fourth, etc" in an oral conversation like this.
Thirdly, turn left at the next corner.
Fourthly, if you see a straight road, go straight.
Lastly, you, turn left and go straight aton the road that seems to continue, and then a house on the left surrounded by trees is the one.
Are you going to be OK?
Let me see.
B: Yeah, ok!
A: Yes, looks ok.
If I'm not mistaken in my explanation.
haha
B: I hope so.
haha
A: If it doesn't seem to work, ask someone else again.
Good luck.
B: That's a big help.
Thank you so much!
Have a nice day!
A: You too!
May 18, 2022
A: Yeah, I knowdo.
What would the natural order be?
1 Yeah, I do
2 Yeah, I know where it is
3 Yeah.
Am I right in this order?
May 18, 2022
If someone asked me "Do you know where the Hara Community Centre is?" I would probably just say, "Yeah," and then wait for them to ask a question.
Depending on my mood and the context, I might say, "Yeah, do you need directions?"
