Paul taught daily in 'the hall' of Tyrannus for two years, using a word that means 'leisure' or the place where leisure is spent—a school or lecture hall. Classical usage denotes free time for study; by extension, the places where teaching occurred. Spanish 'escuela' (school) and French 'école' capture the educational context, while English 'hall' preserves the spatial sense. Luke's detail situates Paul's Ephesian ministry in a rented teaching venue, modeling urban intellectual engagement.
