Oh, I can totally sympathise with that! (I have good spatial awareness, it's just that the associated *words* get muddled)
Amusingly, my father and I muddle in exactly the same way - but he gives out enough non-verbal cues that I know when he means 'the other left'. Very confusing for my mother if I was driving, my father was navigating, and she was trying not to get car sick in the back when anticipating the directions my father was vocalising...
