When in doubt, I always listen to the slow option, just to double check. It is usually clearer because it separates the words which is easier for my foreign ears. I am getting better at understanding the fast versions, though.

On my ipad, for some forms of the questions, there is a small blue "button" with a turtle on it just below and to the right of the blue audio button next to the question. If you click the turtle button, it slows down the audio and separates the words, making it much easier to understand. :)

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I'll give it a shot. Just 'e' with no accent means 'and'. If you have 'è' it means 'is' as in "He/she/it is." I hope that is what you are asking. :)

you have to know which word is masculine and which is feminine. There is no simple rule to all, you will Handle with practice.
I am an italian. My language is the italian. So I can reply better in italian language. "He" è un soggetto e va tradotto in italiano con "Egli", anche se è tollerato, nel linguaggio corrente, la parola "Lui". Ma nella letteratura ila parola è Egli. La parola lui è esatta se bisogna tradurre la parola inglese: Him che si usa in casi diversi dal soggetto. "Lui" si adopera negli altri casi come i complementi oggetto, i locativi ecc. Ecco alcuni esempi. Egli scrive. Io sono con lui. Io scrivo per lui. Ricevo una lettera da lui. ecc. se vuoi sentiamoci per telefono, I ca speak in englisch.

Actually for Duo it's the way the lessons are done. There are no vocabulary or grammar lessons per se but there are other means. First for the vocabulary you mouse over the word and get the basic vocabulary, verb conjugation and some grammar tips. For grammar many units have "Tips" on the home page. You may want to use a dictionary. Here's a good on line set of -dictionaries:http://www.lexilogos.com/
Also, see this site with hints and tips and a list of very good Guidelines which you really need.
That is kind--and also kind of funny. I think--considering that the exercises are meant to be done at a brisk pace, and that there's just a mild reproach for "almost getting it right" without the accent--that it's probably acceptable to slide by, as long as the spelling is correct. Odd, though, with keyboards being so sophisticated , , ,
