1. Today, a friend asked: What is the best way to get the airport from your house?
To describe this, can you use the following words in a sentence 路线／方向／方法／办法／etc。？
答：哪条路线是从你家去机场最近的？
the best way ：最近的路
2. How do I say walk 3 blocks and wait for me at the corner? (are there more than one way of saying blocks/streets?)
答： In Chinese we never say blocks when talking about instance. We usually say 3 meters.
我们通常用大约几米来形容距离，因为街区（blocks）是西方特有的描述方式。
这句话应该翻译成“大约走100米，然后在拐角处等我吧”或者“大约走100米，然后在拐弯儿的地方等我”
其实我也不确定3 blocks到底是多少米，不过你在生活中肯定对大约距离有自己的估算。
3. In beijing there are those side roads that are called (fu lu) I have problems finding it in my dictionary. I often hear people say chou fu lu. (can someone help me use this in a sentence in mandarin characters)
答：fu lu应该是“福 路”比如说双福路，康福路，定福路。这是明朝和清朝遗留下来的，“福”在汉语中是“good luck”的意思，而皇室又很注重这些，所以北京的一些建筑和地名里面都带有这些吉利的词。
4. In taxi: Drive straight for 5 blocks, pass 3 traffic lights, drive into the side road and turn right at the end of the road. Stop the car at the middle of the block, I'll be getting off there.
答：师傅，直走5个街区，过3个路口（有红绿灯的地方必然是路口），开进那条街，然后在路的尽头向右转。在这条街的中间停下，我要在那儿下车。
5. Can you stop the car at the corner, I'll be getting off there.
答：麻烦在拐弯儿的地方（拐角处）停下，我在那儿下车。
6. Sometimes taxi drivers will say: "I don't know that area." But I want to tell them to drive towards that area first and I can tell him how to get there. But I don't know how to say it very smoothly. I usually say
"没事，这地方我有一点熟，先往那边走然后我会告诉你怎么走。“ I know that this is not so ”顺口“ can someone help me say this better. Thank you.
答： 没事儿，您先开着，我知道路。
7. Sometimes I hear. "给我你具体的地址“ Does that mean give me directions how to get to your place? If not, how do I ask, "Can you give me directions to your place?"
答：这句话是正确的！“给我你的具体地址”
