Be sure one of you adds the “book lesson” button idea to the ideas board and then tell us to vote! I agree, that would make things clearer

Are you sure that everybody knows the meaning of Book in “Book Lesson”? For most students, specially those studying english, Book is something you read.

English is a worldwide language. English is the second language in all the countries which English is not their native language. So when I was in the school and I was studying it as a second language, I studied that “book” is a noun and a verb in the same time. For example “book a ticket”. So we were using “book” like that a lot when I was in the school. But if you have another suggestion, you can make another idea about it.

Good point Enrique. Not sure what else it can be but we definitely want to keep in mind those that are learning or hardly know English.

Great idea though Gihan, love it.

I don’t know which other word either. I just know from my experiece, that many students don’t know the meaning of that word as a verb.

Thanks Marco, reserve is good, but it’s difficult for many students. So I suggest to be “take a lesson” or “take a paid lesson”. I think it’s much clearer.

Yes, and “buy” is a lot more basic than “to book”. We never covered “book” as a verb in English class….

Most to all of my students in Asia, Australia and Greece who were learning English as a second language, have, at some point come into contact with the verb ‘book’, as in ‘to book’. This is primarily due to its popularity on travel/ticket ‘booking’ websites globally.

I suggest that it may be a case of splitting ‘book’ hairs here! :)

“Buy” is a good one. I like that too.

If enough people don’t object to it, let’s keep it the way it is.
