Oh yes, kind of problem because you think its easy...you think ! Arabic is the most difficult in my opinion, simply because one word has a lot of definitions & depend on how he is written.

Exactly. Another one I always got wrong is how to write the "ألف" in a word. I mean how could one letter depend not only the word it self but the whole sentence?! :fainthv9:

So, you have to put "When does your class finish?" into reported speech.

In book, the solution is: She asked me when my class finished.

But I personally would write: She asked me when did my class finish.

Is my version wrong?

Edit: I didn't know where to put it, so I posted it here.

Although when we speak we may say the second, it is because we are lazy. Grammatically it is not right and actually sounds awkward. Choulo had the reason correct: the verb should come after the noun.
