0It's still not ideal because it uses the phrase "find yourself" which we don't use much in English conversation unless you mean in the philosophical sense. Because of that potential confusion we tend to avoid it. When I read it, I imagined you sitting in the square contemplating your place in the world.02br

0 The sentence is fine. You could also say, "Walk along this street, then go through the underpass and you'll find yourself in this square."0-

0After I posted that, I thought about it a little more and realized that I missed the boat on this one. I still don't like the first sentence posted, though -- it sounds "foreign" to me. It's NOT "fine". At the very least, "this" can't be used, unless you are pointing at it on a map. Plus, I think "at" sounds better than "in", but that might be regional.02br
