Look at the noun. Women is plural, therefore "dere" is correct. "du" would be correct if it was woman (singular).
Many English majors like to ignore the fact that English is missing a Second Person Plural, and many times say that the difference should be easily discernable. However, this not always the case. Sticking to one word for both a Singular and a Plural Second Person form can make certain statements vague. The phrase "dere er" is the closest equivalent to the phrase "You all are" and "Y'all are".
Is there a way to practice pronunciation a way that the system checks if you do it correctly or not ?
I think there is a way to get your mic to work? im trying to do that as well
Yes, there is. If you're using Chrome, you need to click the lock icon left of "https://duolingo.com". From the drop-down menu, choose Site Settings. Under Permissions/Microphone, select Allow from the drop-down menu. Reload the page, check that your microphone (headset mic or one integrated with headphones) is connected, that you have all the necessary drivers installed (if needed) and make sure it's enabled in your operating system sound settings so you don't end up speaking into a void. You need to have the Speaker enabled in Duolingo settings as well. Then, you just have to wait for a speaking exercise to appear.
Other alternative solutions for pronunciation help are:
the sound of Dere is like dela? is it my ears or it does really sound like that?
