he lives in warsaw, next to the square, in the ninth street
is rejected because of next to instead of beside ! I hate you Duo !

I don't think it is either, even after replaying the audio after realising there's supposed to be an 'n' I still can't hear it.
---------- hungarians hear the n because varso'ba (TO varso' ) doesn't fit the sentence. one can live IN but one can't live TO . . .
he lives in warsaw beside the square in the ninth street .
is there only one square in warsaw ? is the name of the street "ninth " ? or is it the ninth street from the square ?

The square in question is likely the Rynek Starego Miasta, the oldest square and market place, located in the centre of Warsaw's old town. At least that's what I'd refer to if I just said "square". :)
The streets are not numbered and it's hard to order them anyway, since there was no proper city design back when most European cities were built. So, this sentence is not really true-to-life. Just there for educational purposes.
------- for what it's worth, she's really saying "varsova lakik . . . " . Viktor occasionally becomes Biktor, so the b and v in hungarian are a bit variable as in spanish . . .

Where is the word Warsaw in the Hungarian sentence? Varsóban lakik, a tér mellett, a kilencedik utcában.
