1. nounaccomplishment; lessons (in an art, skill, etc.); practice

• SynonymレッスンNeutralA loanword for a lesson, one-on-one or with a group, as in 「ピアノのレッスン」; 習い事 refers to the ongoing pursuit of a skill outside school, not the lesson itself.
• Related講座こうざNeutralA course or lecture series offering systematic instruction, as in 「英会話講座」; unlike 習い事, it is not necessarily an ongoing pursuit.
• Related授業じゅぎょうNeutralSchool and cram-school classes, focused on the teacher's instruction; 習い事 usually means learning a skill or art outside school: piano, English conversation, the abacus.

For classes in general, use 「授業」. For learning a skill or art outside school — piano, swimming, English conversation, the abacus — use 「習い事」, as in 「子どもの習い事」. Use 「レッスン」 for a specific lesson and 「講座」 for a course or lecture series.
