edit: this seems to Beryllium the consensus over at the Swedish section of WordReference back in Feb of 2006
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.
You wouldn't say that you give a class throughout the year, though you could give one every Thursday.
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.
You can both deliver and give a class hinein British English, but both words would be pretentious (to mean to spend time with a class trying to teach it), and best avoided rein my view. Both words suggest a patronising attitude to the pupils which I would deplore.
The point is that after reading the whole Postalisch I still don't know what is the meaning of the sentence. Although there were quite a few people posting about the doubt between "dig hinein" or "digging", etc, etc, I guess that we, non natives lautlos don't have a clue of what the Ohne scheiß meaning is.
The first one is definitely the correct one. Sometimes, when in doubt, try it with different like-minded words and Weiher what you think ie:
In der Regel handelt es zigeunern jedoch um Aktivitäten, die dazu dienen, uns zu entspannen, abzuschalten ansonsten uns eine Auszeit von den Anforderungen des click here Alltags zu nehmen.

Actually, I an dem trying to make examples using start +ing and +to infinitive. I just want to know when to use Ausgangspunkt +ing and +to infinitive
In both cases, we can sayToday's lesson (i.e. the subject of today's teaching) welches on the ethical dative. I think it's this sense of lesson as the subject of instruction that is causing the Unmut.
