"Ella tiene una abuela española."

Translation: She has a Spanish grandmother.

[TeallAnast]

I typed "ella tiene una abuela espanola" and it marked it as wrong but posted what i had as the correct answer.

[AidenValen14]

did u have an accent mark?

[Sayee2303ANI]

Well you have to translate it in English!!

[Goodtime777]

There's that ina/una thing again. Do you hear it?

[rooseveltnut1]

There's a definite glitch in the recording. I find the same thing over in the English for Spanish speakers course. She has a certain word that frequently comes out garbled.

[AndroniusMaximus]

I got the male voice, I didn't hear any issues.

[Michellei8]

What do you mean? I don't get it!!!

[alan967216]

Hear it! It throws me every time!

[sam479566]

Yep. Weird.

[Shirde2]

Doesn't accept "grandma" as a translation for abuela. Unacceptable.

Mi abuela =
My grandma =
My grandmother

[ylvarie]

It accepted me

[Sayee2303ANI]

I typed the same but it was accepted

[IanTripp55]

Also has this issue.

[NearatHand]

jesus christ lady, take some time to pronouce the A at the end, sounds like she's saying "un abuelo" to me.

[Harley588854]

Didn't sound like that to me

[AryanKrish4]

Play the sound on slow speed. Each word is clearly pronunciated.

[Katrina575477]

It sounds like she said "un abuelo" her pronounciation is not very clear

Yo entiendo yo también.

[jeff510075]

i wrote this but it wrong

[GaryTSarti]

Over and over again i heard ola carvella not una abuela

[dazamdin]

Ella tiene una abuela español, that is what the guy says...
Sure if you think about it, it has to be ella tiene una abuela española... :/

[MayaDuny]

It ought to be - "She has an Italian grandmother" - right?

[Arun249540]

This is wrong I answered it correctly
duo lingo has some problems with other possible answers

[carol186401]

that is whati wrote why is it wrong?

[AlexaEvans2]

Why is it abuela espanola NOT abuela de espanola for Spanish grandmother, while when talking about a Spanish teacher it's maestro de espanol NOT maestro espanol? How do I know when to put "de"?

[Perneco1]

Wrong for leavin out the 1st "a" in espanola

[awesomefox17]

Plz gimme lingots, gracias

[g3QzDZ]

I love espanol

[sonytang]

The male voice definitely said español instead of española. Dúo should accept their responsibility and mark both "española" and "español" as correct.
