If the problem is temporary you could use 'disoriented'.

I am not a teacher.

Hey Mr.19,

if you mean by "having no sense of direction" that that person has trouble navigating and does not always know where other places are relative to his location, then you could say "He is not good with directions" or "He's bad with directions".

*not a teacher*

Hello Mr.19,

I reckon it does not exist one word to say what you want. Nonetheless a sentence like 'to have a bad sense of direction' is nice but I am not teacher.

Cordially,

I think it may have been slightly tongue-in-cheek. There is a trend in politically-correct circles to use '<adverb>-challenged' as a more acceptable way of saying that someone is defective in some way - emphasizing that they were born that way and doing admirably in the circumstances. A bald person, for example, might be called 'follically-challenged'. Sometimes, apologizing for my lack of a second X-chromosome, I call myself 'chromosomatically-challenged'; not everyone gets the joke... (X chromosome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

Hello teacher,

It is like an euphemism, if I have well understand your explanation.It is maybe more hard to say that instead of the réality (I am joking but this kind of sentences can maybe upset some persons who do not are able to support these jokes).

Thanks for your reply, it is vey clear and now the sky is blue in my mind (it's a picture).;-)
