    Why is いもうと split in two?

      Sometimes words are chopped up to make the exercise a little bit harder.

        They should probably chop them up more.

          Or let us use keyboard instead of word bank

              いもうと should be written in kanji 妹.

                I agree. I would like if DL taught more kanji

                  It would definitely be helpful to throw more Kanji. Luckily, some words show the Kanji if you tap on them to see their definition. As far as I know, DL aims to prepare you for the JLPT N5.

                    I marked without です and was correct. Why?

                      To be honest, です is a mark of polite speech. The sentence, in essence, is correct without it.

                        Desu is the coppola is used how "is" is used in English, kinda.

                            Watashi is usually ommited in other examples. Why I can't omit it in this sentence?

                              You can. I omitted it and it was correct, so maybe it was changed if you were marked wrong.
