Why is Kon not accepted, my keyboard is English and does not have Polish alphabetical punctuation.
You can enable a Polish keyboard in the settings of your device, it has all you need for English in the same places, plus the Polish characters.
However, Duolingo accepts answers without special characters, it just gives you a 'you have a typo' message. So either you made another mistake (even just a typo) somewhere, or there was some bug.
"The horse" is an accepted answer (starred even), it definitely should have worked.
It sounds like the audio is saying "KonE lubi mleko". Basically I hear an extra sound between "Kon" and "lubi". Is this just me?
I think with the new voices the ending of "koń" may not be as sharp as it should be... It's not exactly like they say "konie", but I can understand it may kinda sound like that.
On one hand, it's easy to say that "ni" and "ń" is the same sound. But they are a bit different.
As in 'ni' you have 'i', it is pronounced in a way. It's a bit like "ńi".
"ni" is written before vowels, "ń" before consonants and at the end of the word - at least the word in Nominative.
As actually "koń" is Nominative singular, but "koni" is Genitive plural. Too early to discuss Genitive, I guess ;)
Well, it's for sure the closest that you can probably get to the Polish ń from the knowledge of other languages. But I'd say that it's shorter than the Spanish one.
horses do not like milk, it gives them diarrhea, unless 'foul' and 'horse milk' was meant?
It's just a sentence teaching language (and there's very little vocabulary and grammar to choose from at this stage), it doesn't have to be factually correct.
It's a correct sentence, but it means "Someone named 'Horse' likes milk".
