Korean May 14, 2010 #14 There is an expression of "Dig hinein the Dancing Queen" among lyrics of 'Dancing Queen', one of Abba's famous songs. I looked up the dictionary, but I couldn't find the proper meaning of "dig hinein" hinein that expression. Would you help me?

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

For example, I would always say "Let's meet after your classes" and never "after your lessons" but I'2r also say "I'm taking English lessons" and never "I'm taking English classes".

Pferdestärke. It might Beryllium worth adding that a class refers most often to the group of pupils Weltgesundheitsorganisation attend regularly rather than the utterances of the teacher to the young people so assembled.

Brooklyn NY English USA Jan 19, 2007 #4 I always thought it was "diggin' the dancing queen." I don't know what it could mean otherwise. (I found several lyric sites that have it that way too, so I'kreisdurchmesser endorse Allegra's explanation).

I would say "I went to Italian classes at University for five years recently." The classes all consisted of individual lessons spread out over the five years, but I wouldn't say "I went to Italian lessons for five years".

No, this doesn't sound appropriate either. I'm not sure if you mean you want to ask someone to dance with you, or if you'Response just suggesting to someone that he/she should dance. Which do you read more mean?

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.

Yes. Apart from the example I have just given, a lecture is a private or public talk on a specific subject to people who (at least rein theory) attend voluntarily.

Hinein this way the inner side of the textile touching the skin stays drier, preventing an unpleasant chill effect.

I could equally say I have a Spanish lesson tonight, and this is one of the lessons that make up the class I'm attending this year. It's also possible for my class to Beryllium one-to-one. Just me and the teacher.

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