You can find the alephbeth in de app Tiny Cards that is the hebrew alphabet
Duolingo hebrew should learn from Russian greek and arabic lessons howto teach alphabets
I've went outside the app and Hebrew Pod 101 on YouTube has a couple good videos on Hebrew Alphabet

There is now (finally) a tab at the bottom of the app screen (the icon is the letter alef), where you can learn the alphabet and short syllable combinations.
The word יונה (yonah) is also the first name Jonah, so this could be a normal sentence.
Or, you know, classic Duolingo. (slaps knee)
Shouldn't only ׳את יונה׳ be correct and not 'אתא' because it is feminine?
ATA = אתה = you (male, single)
AT = את = you (female, single)
BTW: Yona is the biblical name "Jonah". Kind of out dated now for first name, but it can be used as first name for males and females.
BTW 2: Words that ends with א come from Aramaic (אבא, אמא, סבא, סבתא) or follow Aramaic form, while the Hebrew form ends with ה (box = קופסא/קופסה, query = שאילתא/שאילתה, armchair = כורסא/כורסה, exaggeration = גוזמא/גוזמה etc). This is not the case with את/אתה, that word does not follow Aramaic form. The word אתא exists in Aramaic, but the meaning is "Came", but this is for course "Aramaic for English speakers" ;-)
Is יונה feminine? How do you say 'a [male] pigeon'? What about 'You (masculine) are a pigeon'?

It is feminine, pidgeon would be translated to תור (thor, mostly pronounced 'tor'). When you refer to the male of the dove, you can try יון (yon) tho nobody ever says that. Just say implicitly you are talking about a male dove.
I still wish when you pressed on these words they would say them out loud like the other languages on this app...
Period is on the "English" (right) side; not the Hebrew. No option to report this (it only had, "English sentence is unnatural.")

It is not for practical usage. It is ment to improve listening skills, word seperation capabilities and familiarity with the latters.
I accidentally hit the ignore button to the Hebrew dashboard and I need it to complete my lesson

Plural of יונה is יונים, so what you wrote is incorrect. Actually, what you wrote could mean something like "they are Greeks/Hellenists" literally "sons of Greekdom/Hellenism"
There should have been a Hebrew keyboard for me to select letters from as my computer does not have a font or letters to type in any Hebrew letters. My computer has only an English language keyboard.
Not sure how to type Hebrew from an English Keyboard. I'm using Android which let me add a Hebrew Keyboard optiin.

this sentence i learned: ו means "and" on the end of word י means "a" on a word too

You are correct about ו meaning "and", but י doesn't mean "a". י is just a letter - it's part of the word יונה /yona/ - dove. Hebrew doesn't have the indefinite article "a".
