"An another" doesn't work in English. "Another" is itself a word that means "an other."
Both "next city" and "the next city" are accepted. If that's exactly what you answered and it was rejected, it may have been a Duo hiccup over which the team has no control.
I was led to believe the e with the diacritic meant that the vowel was simply elongated/dipthongized, but with this audio (espeeecially in slow audio) it sounds like the consonant N is in between the two portions of vowel. Am I right to assume that's in error?
That is not an error. The orthography and pronunciation is explained in our Tips and notes and at many other places on the internet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_orthography#Letter_%C4%9A
does this mean that both další and jiný/jiné share the same meaning? because they both mean another, but jiný also means different? I'm getting confused because I don't know when do we use each one
Yes, both can mean "other/another." But další means "another" in the sense of "additional," while jiný means "another" in the sense of "different." So, based on what you want to say, you would choose which one to use.
