使い分け解説:
- 授業: Refers to a school class or lesson. Often used with verbs like 受ける (to take a class) or する (to teach a class, to hold a class).
- 予習: Refers to studying beforehand to prepare for a class or lesson. Can be used with する as a verb (予習する). Contrast with 復習 (review). ⚠️ Haruka's Voice Column: 'Previewing is basic common sense! Attending my class without any preview is a hundred years too early for you! ...T-Though if you really didn't have time, I could give you a private preview session before class starts...' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『予習なんて授業を受ける前の当然の常識よ！私の授業に予習なしで臨もうなんて、100年早いわよ！...で、でも、どうしても時間がなかったなら、授業前にコソッと私がマンツーマンで予習に付き合ってあげてもいいけど…』
