We're still learning the alphabet and then next thing you know we're getting words which meaning has been given only once. Why this sudden progression?
How am I supposed to know what the words for this are? when I hover over the options it doesnt even tell me what the words mean. Ridiculous.
I think we're supposed to read them out loud, I guess karaj (I think the middle one) sounds sorta like garage
Maybe that's why it's given to learn what they mean, to learn from our mistakes! Just try to look at the bright side! (Even when there is none!!!!)
Is there somewhere we can see/study the words we have learned so far? Because I didn’t learn this, but rather figured it out by trial and error.
Actually in arabic u dont need an 'A' to start your sentence with.'A' is not that necessary.
Duo explains this in the Tips for this level. As I understood it, the absence of a definite article (the), implies the indefinite article ("a" or "an"). Without it, you'd be saying something like, "I have big garage" as opposed to "I have a big garage." You need to include "a" in the answer so Duo knows you're learning this. We haven't learned "the" yet, so if nothing else is there, you can (and need to) assume an indefinite article. Someone please correct me if I'm off track here.
It would be nice and helpful if the arabic words could be spoken out loud. I only guess how it could possibly sound but I'm not sure
Edit: I've noticed that over internet the words are spoken out loud. Unfortunately not in the handy app which I use.
This exercise is supposed to learn us the alphabet, and we haven't learned any words yet. Asking us to directly translate words that we never learned is a really bad idea and blocks us in our progression
I have just one problem and thats it how the hell i am supposed to write it? Arabic is written from right to left and here they still want me to write from left to right :( im so confused
There must be an option to bookmark or make notes for certain vocabulary within the app.
When you get a short phrase wrong, you should be able to hear it again correctly. Getting a wrong answer and seeing the senetence in English and having just heard the last thing you entered (the wrong answer) is kind of confusing. I understand that the same question might be asked again in a different form right away- but it would help a lot to validate the correct way of saying a word after answering- especially when answering wrong.
Big is Kabeer Karaaj is garage. So big garage is kabeer garage but duo says it should be reveresed i. e karaaj kabeer
