Yes, in Italian the statement "It is your turtle." and the question "Is it your turtle?" are written exactly the same way.

Except in English, we can ask a question by using a statement-- Just use rising intonation, and a question mark.
Duo does this a lot in the Spanish-English course.
The first word sounds exactly like HAI, not e. There's too much aspiration. If I must translate what your lady says three times, I can never make it though the exercise. Very discouraging. i am Italian and i have taken Italian courses. Very discouraging.
It will be a while before I come back to duolingo, if at all.

I have noticed more recently that the recorded voice is sounding more like "hai" or "ai", not "è", very confusing!

I said "it is your tortoise" and got it wrong. I guess a turtle and a tortoise are not the same "tartaruga"
