These quotes seem to not work very well, I can't get it to work with any combination of quotes or space or commas. Even when I copy and paste the correct answer it doesn't work.
It seems to have to do with the unicode being different for English and Chinese quotation marks. Mark sure you're typing the Chinese punctuation if your keyboard allows it.
For instance, on my keyboard: English is " and ! Chinese is ” and !
It works if you just leave out all the punctuation completely. 老师说请进 was accepted, but the quotes really, really need to be fixed.
Apart from the fact this course universally uses Simplified Chinese, I would agree.
Traditional Chinese is accepted everywhere on Duolingo. Therefore, it seems a bit odd that here it doesn't work.
I put 老师说，“请进！” instead of 老师说“请进”, which is the "correct answer". Duolingo didn't accept it. This is absurd.
This example seems to be over-fussy about punctuation.
Actually on checking the punctuation is broken. The only way I could get past this exercise was cutting and pasting the answer from this discussion! THIS REALLY NEEDS FIXING!!!!!
２０１８－０５－１７ STILL NOT FIXED.
进来 = come in, but you need the "please", which is 请. So 请进 = please come in. I think DL should accept 请进来 (but they dont)
I put the comma and it was marked wrong. 老实说，“请进！” should be accepted. Reported 7/24/19
we dont use comma in chinese. instead its a colon u shld put there. also, its 老师 not 老实
How come only simplified chinese is accepted in duolingo and not traditional chinese? For example like in this case; only 进 is accepted and 進 isn't, and 这 is right and 這 isn't? Why? Like im 13 and i know 这 and 這/远 and 遠/进 and 進 all look different but its the same traditional thing.
