Signification
A course to learn a new language.
Contexte culturel
Language institutes (آموزشگاه) are often more popular than university courses for learning English. They are social hubs for young people. In Dari Persian, the term is also widely used, especially in cities like Kabul where English and computer classes are highly sought after. Second-generation Iranians often attend 'Kelās-e Fārsi' (Persian class) on weekends to maintain their heritage language.
The Ezafe is Key
If you forget the '-e' sound, people will still understand you, but it will sound like 'Class Language' instead of 'Language Class'.
English is the Default
If someone says 'I'm going to class' (miram kelās) in the afternoon, they almost always mean an English language class.
