Meaning
A class for learning English.
Cultural Background
In Hungarian schools, an 'óra' is strictly 45 minutes long, followed by a 10 or 15-minute break (szünet). The 'nulladik óra' (zeroeth lesson) is a common concept where an English lesson might start before the official school day, usually at 7:15 AM. Many Hungarian companies provide 'kihelyezett angol óra' (on-site English lessons) where the teacher comes to the office. Private English lessons are a huge industry in Hungary, often called 'különóra'. It's a status symbol for parents to afford good private English tutors.
Use the possessive
Instead of saying 'I have an English lesson', always say 'Angol órám van'.
Watch the 'a' vs 'á'
It's 'óra' (nominative) but 'órára' (to the lesson). The 'a' changes to 'á' when suffixes are added.
