Yeah, this is not the only case in the course where they use a possessive in English and not in Spanish. Sounds just very inconsistent and interpretative to me and should be fixed!

The 'la' serves as a definite article, binding the noun as possessive. You don't need tu; besides, "Enjoy the week" works just as well.

An easy way to remember that Disfruta means enjoy is that it has "fruta" in it. Who doesn't enjoy fruit?

I did the Wordbank version and deliberately errored out to force Duolingo to expose its thinking to me, and was told that the correct answer was: ¡Disfruta tu la semna!
Tried to report that there was no TU shown on the Wordbank page to use. But the Report function has been cut down to the point of being nearly totally useless.
Exact same experience! I will report something so perhaps they will be forced to look at it.

I was marked down for using tu. I just want to know when la or el would replace tu

Shouldn't "Disfrutas" be accepted as the informal verb here, in addition to the formal "Disfruta"?

Disfrutar is used in the imperative mood here. That is, it's being used as a command. In the imperative mood, when used for someone you're informal with and in an affirmative way, you conjugate in the el/ella/usted form. eg Abre la puerta! o Compra una falda.
There are 8 exceptions to this rule: ser (sé, like I know), ir (ve), venir (ven), tener (ten), hacer (haz), decir (di), poner (pon), and salir (sal). eg Ve al cine ahora. o Ten cuidado!

Disfruta la semana only means enjoy the week, not enjoy your week. Sometimes these translations are simply wrong in my opinion.

How can you get this correct when there was no "tu" listed to use in this sentence.

I find using the keyboard much better anyway, because I'm forced to think about it more and focus on the spelling and accents, not just on the word order. Or don't you have that option?

I used the wrong word for enjoy. It told me to use "Goza tu semana". Where did that word come from? Never seen it before
tu was not one of the tiles presented to choose from ? So now what? It will keep asking me this question and there will be no way to answer it correctly and I'll be stuck.
When we're telling someone to enjoy their week, why would we not use disfrutas?

It looks like "Disfruta la semana" is also an acceptable answer, since there is no "tu".
So if I were to say this formally to someone, would I drop the "you" and instead say "disfruta la semana"? Or is "usted" worked in there somewhere? Do you say "su" instead?? HELP

"Disfruta de tu semana" Should be accepted, as "Disfrutar de" is used throughout Spain.
