How do i access data using two BelongsTo?

I have three tables - "courses", "lessons" and "tasks". Each lesson belongsTo a course, and each task BelongsTo a lesson. I want to output a task, showing the task name, the lesson name, and the course name. How do I access the course table data? To get the lesson information linked to a course, I have used the following in my Task model:

$lessonName = $this->lessons->lesson_name;

To get the course name associated to that lesson, I have tried the following with no success, but I am really guessing here:

$courseName = $this->lessons->courses->course_name;

Where am I going wrong? Thanks
