Well that's duolingo's fault. If the English for Doggish speakers course were up, the friend could simply allow the dog to use the computer and learn by its dogself. Shame on you Duolingo.

The Korea dogs are very smart because the man can teach English to the dog and I remember that the dog and cat can talk in Korean. It is
I looked it up and it also means “to”, so perhaps you need both characters here, but I don’t know why they each can be used individually or together and when each would be used.
I got the Korean English dictionary from Dict Box here, because it also offers English Korean and can be used offline.

Okay, I finally found something about indirect objects which explains more about this form: http://morninglands.com/indirect-object-particle-%ec%97%90%ea%b2%8c-%ed%95%9c%ed%85%8c-%ec%97%90/
So, it turns out that both characters are used for live animals or people as indirect objects which are recipients. So, if you give water to a plant, then you would only need the first character.
에 by itself can mean "to", but it means as in a location.
For example, if you told your kid to go to their room, you could say "방에 가세요."
But if I use it for giving presents, it doesn't work since people aren't locations. :)
에게 / 에게서 - mean to and from respectively. Used only when talking about giving or receiving something from someone.
에 / 에서 - means to and from respectively too. But this is used in context to places
This is obviously one of those joke sentences that help you remember vocabulary and grammar.
I submitted a singular answer, but it came back as plural. Later in this section an answer of "Girls send letters to boys." was accepted without any indicators of plurality.
I don't think saying "my friend" would work in this sentence since it has no indication that it is your friend or someone else's.
The "-가" attached at the end of "친구" indicates that it is pointing out a specific friend that is your area, but doesn't tell you who's friend it is. I'm pretty sure if it were to say "my friend" the sentence would have "나의" somewhere in the mix.
Hope this helped (: and if I am wrong feel free to correct me!
I put "my friend...." and it was counted right. In my experience, Korean is one of those languages where is the relationship is obvious from context (e.g., parts of the body, family members, etc.) the possessive pronoun can be omitted.
Multi-lingual pets are important. If the dog is already speaking in Korean to the cat, it should know English too.
Why is it "친구가 개에게 영어를 가르칩니다.", but "저는 아이를 가르칩니다."? Does that mean that we cannot use "에게" if we don't have a particular subject we teach (like English in this case) mentioned in the sentence?
"저는 아이를 가르칩니다." means "I teach children."
"저는 아이에게 영어를 가르칩니다." means "I teach English to children."
I think it all has to do with direct and indirect objects. In the first example here "children" is a direct object but in the second example "children" is an indirect object hence the difference.
The first syllable stretched into the second. geh-eh-geh pronounced fast would sound ge-eh geh. (Sorry, my Hanja keyboard is a bit messed up right now)
I was so excited that I did understand the word that I wrote it im Spanish (sorry, I can't explain myself im english yet)
If you belong to the army and you are training your pet, commands in English are useful, but you have to realise first before teach him or her Korean, trying to avoid get misunderstandings from your pet
i just want to say good job on having a 19 day streak at the time of me writing this comment keep it up buddy
Wrong conjugation of the verb "the friend", "he" or "she" require "teaches".
im so confused does adding 게 to something make it like like someone or something is doing something 'to' the subject???
That is attached to the indirect object along with the character just before it (Both characters are necessary here.) and is not necessary if the indirect object is a plant. The friend is the subject, the dog is the indirect object and English is the direct object. “The friend teaches English to the dog.” = “The friend teaches the dog English.” The word order in Korean above shows: subject, indirect object, direct object, verb.

Can someone explain the difference between "to" in this sentence and "from" in the previous sentence?
It should also be correct as it is equal to the accepted answer in English. Try reporting it as also correct.
The word “English” should be capitalized, but the word “friend” should not be capitalized. Otherwise, it should be accepted as correct.
You use English commands like "Sit!" or "Speak!" as opposed to another language. I knew a dog that only understood Spanish and another that only knew Japanese.
Actually, some dogs can approximate some words. I had a dog that always said "Ow" for "Out" when I asked her if she wanted to go out. Once I was joking around and we were in the car and passed an owner walking a dog we knew. I turned to my dog and said "Say "Hello!" to your friend!" and she looked out the window and said "Aro!" It sounded passable, the exact cadence. Reference the cartoon Scooby Doo for how dogs are likely to change words to fit what they can say.
로/으로 means "to" (as in towards). It also means "using" and "by way of" in contexts.
So, "개로 영어를 가르칩니다" could sound like he's teaching English through/using the dog. It's possible for it to make sense, but generally it seems pretty weird.
Come be my teacher 네 모든 걸 다 가르쳐줘 i always remember jin sing that it helps me remember the word for teach
