Morphology

language + lesson

The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'language' (a system of communication) with 'lesson' (an instructional session): together they denote an instructional session about a language. This is a transparent noun-noun/compound-like composition and a cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.

Etymology

Language lesson simply joins language (a way of speaking) and lesson (a time to learn). Imagine a teacher and students in a small room practicing words and sentences, and that picture shows why the phrase means 'a time to learn a language'.
