jdefaye,
We can read the tips lesson by opening Duolingo site (via your web browser app) before we enter the lesson. In web version, when we want to enter the lesson, there are two options. Click the tips. We will find some explanations about the words.
Update: Or, check this link: https://www.duolingo.com/skill/ar/Alphabet-4/tips-and-notes
Finally I can copy paste the link :))
How would you pronounce this word for new? I am still a little lost when they don't have sound for new stuff in the beginning, though this course is better than almost all of the others. Duolingo make me proud!
Don't you have an audio button at the top of this page? I'm on android browser and I do.
The word for "new" is pronounced "jadiid".
Read the Tips & Notes (in web or mobile browser, not in app), it says the adjective comes after the noun.
Most languages (at least most that I know) differ from English on that aspect. English is the only language I can speak where the adjectives come before the noun. It was also weird to me to accept that when I learned English, but you get to used to it pretty fast.
Japanese is another language where adjectives (as far as I'm aware) come exclusively before the noun
It might be that certain adjectives like monosyllabic ones go before. Or the answer is wrong
In Lebanon, you may hear people say "Jacquet" similar to the way you might say it in French. This has seeped into parts of the Levant as well. The way Duolingo pronounces it is quite strange to my ears.

Duolingo is good♥️♥️ but the thing is its difficult when hearts r going even for 1 mistake
Is there any arabic person here reading this , doesn't this say " a new jacket" or no?
This one didn't follow the rules so far. Is new not an adjective so it should follow the noun?
