I want to say "this is the way." Would I use chemen or fason? (sa se chemen la ou sa se fason la)?

This is the way (as in "This the direction.")
Sa se chemen an. or
Sa se wout la.

This is the way to heaven.
Sa se chemen syèl la

This is the way to New York.
Sa se chemen New York la.

This is the way home.
Sa se wout lakay mwen.

(You may use either "chemen" or "wout")
___________________________

This is the way (as in "This is how...", "This is the method...)
You may say it three different ways:
Se konsa...
Sa se fason...
Se fason sa



Example:
This is the way we dance.
Se konsa nou danse. or
Sa se fason nou danse.

This is the way you should sit at a table.
Se konsa pou ou chita sou tab. or
Sa se fason pou ou chita sou tab.

Is this the way you talk to me?
Eske se konsa ou pale avè mwen? or
Eske se fason sa ou pale avè mwen?

This is the way we roll.
Se konsa nou boule. or
