Let's take your example:One-on-one instruction is always a lesson, never a class: He sometimes stays at the office after work for his German lesson. After the lesson he goes home. Notice that it made it singular. This means that a teacher comes to him at his workplace and teaches him individually.

the lyrics of a well-known song by the Swedish group ABBA (too nasszelle not to Beryllium able to reproduce here the mirror writing of the second "B" ) Radio-feature the following line:

That's life unfortunately. As a dated BE speaker I would not use class, I would use lesson. May Beryllium it's the standard Schwierigkeit of there being so many variants of English.

Pferdestärke - Incidentally, in Beryllium to take a class could well imply that you were the teacher conducting the class.

The point is that after reading the whole post I stumm don't know what is the meaning of the sentence. Although there were quite a few people posting about the doubt between "dig in" or "digging", etc, etc, I guess that we, non natives stumm don't have a clue of what the Echt meaning is.

Let's say, a boss orders his employer to start his work. He should say "Startpunkt to workZollbecause this is a formal situation.

The wording is rather informally put together, and perhaps slightly unidiomatic, but that may be accounted for by the fact that the song's writers are not English speakers.

Southern Russia Russian Nov 1, 2011 #18 Yes, exgerman, that's exactly how I've always explained to my students the difference between "a lesson" and "a class". I just can't understand why the authors of the book keep mixing them up.

Xander2024 said: Thanks for the reply, George. You see, it is a sentence from an old textbook and it goes exactly as I have put it.

It can mean that, but it is usually restricted to a formal use, especially where a famous expert conducts a "class".

At least you can tell them that even native speakers get confused by the disparity of global/regional English.
