My girlfriend said the same and shes obviously right - cause she's chinese (and my girlfriend)
Don't you want to apply to contribute to the French-Chinese course ? You will be helpful to point out all the possible answers ;-)
的 is not necessary as in many other sentences, they forget "到你学校怎么走?" in their database

I thought you leave out the 的 only with people/family (e.g. 你妈妈，你爸爸). Can you leave out the 的 with any noun?
You also leave it out with an institution the person belongs to, such as the company you work for 公司. I don't think I've seen it left out for 学校 though.
As someone who speaks Chinese and has gone to Chinese school, the answer has to be the most awkward phrasing I've ever seen. 到 is most certinally not needed here
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! horror Why do they teach it to us then? Is it Duonese? (Duolingo Chinese)
Can I say instead "我怎么去你的学校?"?
I can't figure out DuoLingo's logic regarding when to use 怎么走 vs. 怎么路. I've only used 怎么走 in practice, and I keep guessing the wrong one on this course. Any guidance on how to know which one is expected?
you use "lu" when you are referring to a road or way, while "zou" when you are referring to someone to walk or asking to walk with you. Hope this helps.
To me it is as if the Chinese say literally: "In order to arrive to your school (到你的学校), how do I go (怎么走)".
Directions have been the most difficult for me. I would like literal translation questions/answers, to understand the syntax/order.
I wish the ap would tell us words mean. So often i miss a word that isnt in the tip and has no relation to the translation.
They should put the Pinyin. For a non-Chinese speaker like me, how the heck do I know if I am using the right word or not?

If you turn the sound up, the should give you the pronunciation as well as the definition when you click on a Chinese/English word. But this only works with the original sentence, not the one you're trying to form.
Touch the character and it'll show you the English and pinyin translation.

I typed 到你的学校 怎么走 and it said was wrong,i suppose it's because i put a space between the words,is it really wrong?
It is wrong to type spaces in Chinese. Otherwise your sentence is correct.
