"This student really likes geography."

Translation: 这个学生很喜欢地理。

[freymuth]

Since 'really' is emphasized in the English, 真 should really be a correct (ideally preferred) translation!

[carolr]

I thought really was "zhen" and not "hen"

[Terence364703]

Real =Zhen 真, really or very can be said in many many ways. Hen 很 is but one.

[Arachnje]

So, is using 真 correct here?

[Gabrielle145359]

yes

[RemieSmith]

Yes and Duolingo enforces it strictly... until they just say whatever confuse them all...

[Martinolog]

How about 这个学生真的喜欢地理?

[Peter519121]

I think since it is a student we're talking about, it should accept 地理课 if you assume they're referring geography class

[Gabrielle145359]

Accepted now.
