651000	664000	Oh,我走错了。Repeat the compound verb to go the wrong way. 走错,走错。
664000	691000	The verb 走错, like 看见, is a compound verb a result. The first verb 走 is the action which was done. The second verb 错, to be wrong, shows what the result of the action is. Repeat, oh, I've gone the wrong way. 哦,我走错了。
691000	702000	Try saying it ahead of the speaker. Oh, I've gone the wrong way. 哦,我走错了。

745000	754000	You say,我往那边走,过三条街,就是南京东路一段。 是不是? 是。
754000	772000	Several modules ago, you learned that the verb 说 meant to speak or to talk. Now you see that it has another use. It can mean to say that. When used this way, it can be followed by a complete sentence. Repeat, you say that I should go that way.
772000	783000	You say,我往那边走,你说,我往那边走。
783000	802000	Notice that the American adjusts his pronunciation to fit that of the other speaker. This is considered polite usage. Notice also that in the English translation, the word should is added. This captures the meaning of the Chinese. Although the Chinese does not add such a word. Repeat again, you say that I should go that way.
802000	813000	You say,我往那边走,你说,我往那边走。
813000	826000	For saying it ahead of the speaker, you say that I should go that way. 你说,我往那边走。
