for reference, また when used as prefix with temporal nouns as in また来週, it changes the temporal noun as in "again next week".
while if you use また after a temporal noun, it would probably mean you are changing another thing, maybe a verb as in 「来週、また行きましょう」"next week, let's go again"

Whatever the case may be, it looks like 来週また is accepted now, since I was just marked correct for it.
Does anyone know if this is the only correct word order, or just the most common one? I know Japanese word order can be flexible sometimes, but having trouble working out when.
Because that isn't the same sentence. また来週合いましょう would be "Let's meet again next week."
Why is また part of this sentence? I have interpreted また this far as meaning "again".
The part of 'next week' is '来週'. Typically 'see you' are translatied for 'またね' or 'また’. It means 'see you again'. (また会いましょう)
Duo would not accept the words in the order 来週また. Would it still be correct ?
if you are still wondering this, it's not correct, you can use that order if you are planning on saying to do something next week like「 来週また会いしましょう」"let's meet again next week".
In the case of また来週 and またね, these are both phrases that mean "again, next week/ok?". I know is confusing but the reason why is a different use of また is because in this sentence「来週また会いしましょう」 the また is changing the verb, while the 来週 is changing the whole sentence through the verb, again, you can visualize it like this 来週「また→会いしましょう」
In the case of また来週, the また is changing the noun like また→来週, this is also an expression like saying おはよう it's is just how Japanese people use it.

Now...( see the post)... they accept this form, but I still don't know if it's correct ( seeing all this posts ).
「また来週ね」should also be accepted It's pretty common (maybe a bit girlish) to add the ね here.
The ね is something said often in japanese but it also can mean "right?" Or "do you agree" with what comes before it. Some people say it to sound girly or cute, but more from a grammar standpoint it doesnt quite fit correctly.

App version - why is the voice pronouncing English "See you next week" instead of the Japanese phrase?
TIL that また means "again; once more; once again; another time; some other time". So the "see" part of the sentence is never said.
You have to acquire an instinct if you waanna speak good japanese. There's so many untold things...
It is not pronounced 'ki' in this sentence. When combined with a unit of time, it is pronounced 'rai' and means 'next'.
No, i think it'd be somethin like "Raishuu, Mata Aimasho" Can't be Ai Raishuu, it just sounds really weird
