少し周りの人たちに聞いて手伝ってもらったんですけと、理由がなんとか分かったと思います 😄

「I wanted to teach the last classes.」(文章を省略させていただきました m(_ _)m) というと、少し曖昧です。「この間のクラス」または「最後のクラス」と複数の捉え方があって、そのせいか少し違和感があります。文法的には合ってますけど。ただ、周りの人たちに聞いてみたところ、「I really wanted to see my students and teach the last classes.」というと少し不自然に聞こえるらしいです。私もそう思って「... and teach the last of my classes.」という提案を出したんです。

また、「... and teach the last of my classes.」に加えて、「... and teach the final classes.」または「... and teach my last classes.」などという提案を出してくれました。しかし、最後の提案も、「私のこの間のクラス」か「私の最後のクラス」か、少し曖昧ですけど、なんとなく違和感がありませんね 😅。おそらく、「the last classes」から「my last classes」へと、少しだけでもより曖昧じゃなくなったからですかね。とにかく、上記に書いたように、三つぐらいの提案があって、どれを使っても問題ないと個人的には思います。

長くて下手な解説でごめんなさい！ネイティブ英語人の私でも中々うまく説明できませんね。ごめんなさい m(_ _)m

A: They all mean about the same thing. Sometimes there are many ways to say the same thing in English, each with their own small nuances.

"Guide" can be physical or mental. You can guide a student to figure out the right solution, you can guide someones mind and thoughts with your voice, you can guide someone onto the right path, or guide them somewhere physically. It is very gentle.
- "He guided me to the right path."
- "I can guide you through this math problem."
- "She kept guiding my mind back to calming places."

"Lead" is the same as taking someone somewhere, except with the small nuance that they are following you or your instructions, usually by their own volition.
- "He lead me to safety."
- "She's leading the horse to the shed."
- "I can lead you to the exit."
- "He was leading me back."

"Take you" is a little more blunt and simple, and sometimes forceful. You're not leading someone somewhere, you're taking them there manually or you're going together/WITH someone.
- "I can take you to the exit."
- "She was taking me to a restaurant."
- "Then, he took me home."
- "Take me back home."
- "Take me with you."

"Show around" is when you walk someone through or around a specific area, similar to giving them a tour.
- "He showed me around his place."
- "The tour guide showed us around."
- "I was just showing her around campus."

Hope this helps clear some stuff up! If you have questions, let me know.

A: If they were actually speaking in English, this is likely just somebody changing what they were going to say part way through saying it. They started out planning to say "what's the (something)" and then decided they wanted to say "another" instead, but they'd already said "what's the", so they couldn't change that part, and they just kept going with "another" and hoped nobody would notice or care too much.

If the original was in Japanese, and this is an English translation of what was said, then it's just an error in the translation.

You are correct that "the another" is generally not grammatically correct or natural, because "another" is really just a combination of "an" + "other", so it already has an article as part of the word (if you wanted to use "the" it would become just "the other" instead of "the another").
