I imagine compound words just aren't as big of a deal in greek. Compound words are mostly a germanic thing, but can exist in other languages around the world. Not every language necessarily has them, or instinctively uses them.
All I can figure out is that, as a Hellenic transliteration of a fairly short English word which we probably all know, which repeats one consonant and one vowel, it will help in learning π, ο, κ, ρ, and ν and in recognizing them by sight in other words.
the popcorn can be good or bad but not nice, therefore the translation seems incorrect.
I've seen too much kaomoji and now when I look at ποπ I just see an emoticon of a person crying
"Thegoo dpop cor n" was surprisingly correct. Duo doesn't care if there's no or wrong spaces
The audio effing sucks. In comparison to their other lessons which are more precise, like their spanish audio.
I really struggled to get this with the synthesised speech. The 'π's sound like 'κ's & it sounded like one word -> 'κοκόρν'.
It depends on your internet device. If you are on an iPhone or iPad, under “Settings” go to general>Add new keyboard. You can select from there (also includes fun stuff like Russian, Chinese, as well as many European languages that have special accents, etc). Then, when you want to use a different keyboard, you click the globe key and gives you a list of the keyboards you have loaded, you select Greek. To go back to English, click the globe again (between the microphone and 123). I’m guessing android has some similar setup process, but I’m not sure what it is. If you are on a computer, I can’t help other than to tell you to google “alternate keyboards on a Windows PC (or Mac)”
