「実際のレッスンを経験した現役レッスン生、」
how to read 「レッスン生」? [link](https://unc10.jp/gr/voice/vol1) where i found the sentence
thank you in advance
> 律と家族で幸せだよ!
My reading was “I’m happy that me and Ritsu are family / I’m happy that I’m family with Ritsu” but machine/AI translation gives “I’m happy with Ritsu and my family”
Unfortuantely both of those readings make sense in context (the speaker just went out to dinner with her family (with her brother Ritsu), and now they are walking home rogether alone, and the speaker says this to him. The surrounding sentences don’t really add anything, it’s just Ritsu and the main character chatting just the two of them.
What I’m asking is if both of these interpretations “(I) with my family and Ritsu, am happy”, or “(I) am happy that (I’m) family *with* Ritsu” are valid based on context, or if one of them is straight-up incorrect.
