"강아지가 어려운 언어로 말해요."

Translation: The puppy is speaking in a difficult language.

[Ana_Kai]

You go puppy!! Hwaiting!

[caelum.cloud]

the language? bark.

[Sami610230]

Is he speaking Korean?? Cause that's a difficult language.

[SallieAndr]

is hard wrong? I don't understand. Does it have to be difficult they mean the same

[Ash-Fred]

"The puppy is speaking in a hard language." is accepted.

[TamarHarri3]

Isn't it equally correct to translate this, "The puppy speaks difficult languages."? Singular and plural nouns are not always distinguished in Korean.

[Ash-Fred]

"The puppy speaks difficult languages." is now accepted.

[seonni]

In that case, the number would be relevant information that cannot be easily assumed, so the plural marker would likely not get ommited.

[SvedishPlumber]

It could also just be a vague sentence that doesn't specify how many

[UAXj4]

I'm this puppy.

[SKYRYD3R]

BOW WOW WOW!!

[CGTokki]

Doesn't Korean make the distinction between simple present and present continuous like English does?

[Ash-Fred]

It doesn't.

[CGTokki]

Thanks!

Hey Ash-Fred, you're doing a great job! Just so you know... Thank you for helping out!

[JVerbelF]

What about the -고 있어요 form? Just asking...

[Ash-Fred]

It's like en train de, since you're level 15 in French.

[Sugarmang1993]

if the puppy can, we all can speak korean 화이팅!

[Yon336713]

Wow this voice clip is very fast, especially trying to get the words at the end. You can hardly hear the differences in the words

[kittycatbuttbutt]

This is the first one that made me laugh out loud

[YutubPlzSu]

What makes a language difficult?

[Mybiasjimin]

Woof! Woof! ㅋㅋㅋ

[deactivated user]

Reminds me of this from my childhood.

[melvsoh]

Just because we don't get it doesn't mean it's difficult man, who knows HAHA

[Becca6104]

is the distinction between "dog" and "puppy" really important in Korean? can't "the dog speaks in a difficult language" be an acceptable translation?

[dpatkat]

From what I understand so far here and other resources, "강아지 " in this lesson is a word for a baby dog or a young dog, not older or adult dogs like " 강아지 ".

Otherwise, I can understand why we might think about "dog" as a choice.

In a way, it is a great sentence of contrast and extremes with memory triggers:
puppy, speeaking, language, difficult.

Cute?

[dpatkat]

Typo: ---
"not older or adult dogs like the word " 개 "

[Greg275854]

I was wondering the same thing since I walk my dog here in Korea and people always comment saying "kang-a-ji" but it's not a puppy at all, so I assume it doesn't really matter, but Duolingo is probably just stressing the technicality.

[minhoeshoe]

Why is it speakING and not speaks? I thought there's another form for that

[CGTokki]

I asked this before too. In English there is a distinction in using the present simple and the present continuous. The first indicates a habit (I brush my teeth (every day)), the second indicates the action you are doing right now (I am brushing my teeth (as we speak)).
In Korean they do not make this distinction.
