A late reply, but vänstra is the definite form. It gets a little confusing, though, since Swedish has a lot of idiomatics using indefinite directions.
In a phrase like "on the left side", for instance, you'd use either på den vänstra sidan or more idiomatically på vänster sida. And in this sentence, of course, English uses the definite while Swedish does not.
Kevinlinton, I agree that without Arnauti and the rest of the Duo team this would be a far different course. I estimate that about 50% of what I have learned, I learned from the actual course, while another 50% I've gotten from the comments of these wonderful people! I wish I could start a GoFundMe page and send them all to some exotic place for two weeks vacation.

Jag är med dig Dieter. Jag förstår inte varför detta inte skulle accepteras. Hoppas vi får ett svar.
