Text The phrase "to lose (one's) bearings," in this podcast, means to get lost: "I tried to pay attention to where we were going, but the driver made so many turns that I lost my bearings." The phrase "to get (one's) bearings" is the opposite and means to figure out where one is: "Some sailors are very good at getting their bearings by studying the stars on a clear night." Finally, the phrase "to have a direct bearing on (something)" means to affect or influence something or to be a factor in something: "Hearing two languages when you are a child has a direct bearing on your ability to learn to speak those two languages well when you are older."
