This should either not be an audio exercise, or else 他 should be accepted.
I'm still running into this problem. Duolingo needs to separate between people using the word bank with one gendered option and people typing. Dealing with homophones is a big deal in Chinese

This is a problem on many lessons. Duolingo really needs to fix this. It's frustrating for those of us typing (which is the best way to learn imo).
I believe it can't be fixed because if how duolingo works. It pairs sentences with translations independent of exercises, so translation must be correct for each exercise type. So if they start accepting 他 她 它 for audio they will also start accepting these for every other exersise type and that is obviously wrong.

Here, English is 英语, but in a previous example Chinese was 中文. Could English be written as 英文, and if so, what's the difference between 语 and 文 ?
語 (even more so: 話) suggests the spoken language while 文 suggests the written language. So you would 說英語 and 寫英文. However, 說英文 is acceptable.
Then why is 文 wén used in the sentence 你会说中文吗？if the context tells that Zhōngwén is spoken and not in written form? How about 语 yǔ as in 汉语 Hànyǔ (Chinese)? How is it different from the two?
Nice question! 汉语 vs. 中文 is an exception to this rule. In this pair, 汉语 is usually used in more formal writings (for example, 对外汉语教学 or 汉语研究), while 中文 is used in daily / colloquial circumstances.
No, in Chinese, the difference between the concepts of "learning" and "studying" is vague. 学习 is usually used alone, while 学 is usually followed by what is being learned / studied.
in the listening exercise there is no way to tell. it’s incredible that Duolingo hasn’t figured out that all listening exercises that use ta1 need to accept both male and female
The character 她 means she, whereas 他 means he. You can tell because of the female radical (女) on the left side of the character. They are both pronounced "ta1." In speaking, this means 她/她 is more like "they," and doesn't explicitly state gender.
when writing from hearing it is a bit silly that duolinguo does not recognise 他 and 她 as the same.
Can anyone explain? how do I know how to use the word 他 I am too confused with this so how to separate it with male or female even I saw the cartoon character I immediately judge that he was a man lol too difficult for me

"She likes study English" should have been accepted. In this situation it has the same meaning as "enjoy". Also, the sentence use "喜欢" which mean like.
You need an infinitive in that context: she likes to study. It could also be a gerund: she likes studying.
No, you need an article in that context. "Learning the English language"
No, you need the definite article. She enjoys learning the English language.
