Apparently I can't hear the difference between "liest" and "lest"... This is a problem I have with almost every listening exercise on Duolingo. It is so frustrating!

Du liest ein Buch? Lies die Zeitung, bitte! Ihr lest ein Buch? Lest die Zeitung, bitte!
This means that the verb lesen is irregular. In this sentence, it is in the imperative plural form (I believe) and is in second person, telling a person or multiple people to read the newspaper, therefore it is lest. Refer to this website - http://www.canoo.net/inflection/lesen:V:haben

Die Zeitung, not der Zeitung. Also, diese is not an inflection or der, it means "this"

The accusative of "der" is "den". "Der/den" means "the". "Diese" means "this" not "the". The sentence says "Read this newspaper." not "Read the newspaper."
