"la polan" stands for "the polish language", but the country will not have "la" in front of it in Esperanto.
why does Pollando have 2 L's and a d, while polan has one L and no d's? Is this an exception to the rules?

La pola lingvo: The Polish Language La pola: Polish (Short for the above) Pola lando: Polish country Pollando: Poland
It's completely regular, it's like "mallonga".

Why does it say 'LA polan' and 'LA ĉeĥan'? Why can't you just say 'Sofia parolas polan kaj ĉeĥan'?

it refers to the language, as in "Sofia speaks the Polish language and the Czech language."

Does it need both articles? Can I use it once and just say "Sofia parolas la polan kaj cxehxan"?

Weren't we told in the notes (I'm on a tablet right now and can't look it up) that we have to use "la [language name] lingvo"?

It's not something I remember ever being taught so Duo keeps ticking me off about it. It is nonsense because 'language' is implied the moment one says 'parolas'. "En Japanio la Japanoj parolas Japanan" (eĉ 'parolas Japane') ĉu ne? Oni ne bezonas 'la' por klarigi la informon.
