don`t you think its will be better to start learning from the letters
People generally learn a language to speak the language, not to spell the language. All Duolingo courses work this way.

You wouldn't say that when you start learning a language that uses a different alphabet completely ... or better ... Chinese!
well actually i tried learning japanese a while back,, and simply trying to memorise each new letter before learning words didnt work for me so i just started learning words and whenever i didnt understand a letter i looked it up and ended up learning the entire alphabet in about a week

Japanese uses Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji to represent its writing system, so I am not sure exactly what you mean by 'a letter' or 'a word'.
ZobraTHut - this is not true at all. We learn for both - speak and spell. And not all duolingo courses work like that.
That depends on the teaching method. No one has yet prooved which one is better.
Well, the word must sound different to the well-trained Swedish ear to the beginner learner ear.
Yes, probably. That's why I clarified that it was completely normal. (apart from a slight touch of robot!)
I'm a native swede and there's nothing wrong about it. But maybe they've fixed it, I'm quite new here.
Nothing wrong but when u use a program to read it word per word and letter per letter it sound weirdo. Try download an ebook in google playbook and let your smartphone read it loud for you.
Sure: ickebinär.
It's literally more like "not-binary" than "non-binary", but that's the right word for it.
I am wondering why I was marked incorrect for answering "A Girl" instead of "Girl," are there very precise rules in Swedish about articles or is this an oversight?
To give an actual example of a sentence with "a girl", "en flicka" in it: "I see a girl", "Jag ser en flicka". You cannot say "Jag ser flicka". Though I think I might be over explaining myself. I guess you just wanted to answer "a girl" because, well, it's a girl. But as stated, there is a difference.
"Flicka" litterlly means "girl". To say "a girl" you instead say "en flicka". Almost like in english. "En" means "one". There is no special word comparable to "a" in english. Instead we just say "en", "one".
it's telling me Flicka to Girl is incorrect, but shows Girl as the correct answer. Stuck, can't move on.
That happens rarely, and the only solution I know of is to restart the lesson. Hope you get it working!
Diana is that diana who i think it is. First do you have a youtube channel 2 are you young 3 are you a flika!?
