In French, 'cours' refers to the subject or the lesson itself, while 'classe' usually refers to the physical room or the group of students.

French does not use a continuous form like 'I am liking'; use the simple present 'J'aime'.

Cultural Tip
In French-speaking academic cultures, students often distinguish between 'le cours' (the lecture) and 'les travaux dirigés' (tutorials). Saying you like the 'cours' generally implies you enjoy the overall subject matter and the instructor's delivery.
