hi Lar,

Found some typos and audio problems in Basic to Intermediate Spanish

level 26
el búfalo - buffalo
stress is wrong in all audio tracks

level 28
el arco iris
audio has wrong stress for “iris”

level 32
¿está abierta la piscina por la mañana? - Is the swinmming pool open in the morning ?
typo in swimming

level 34
él está sentado a la mesa a la izquierda de la ventana
“sentar en” I think

Hi,

Thanks for the report.
I have corrected the audios and the typo.
I have changed the text and audio for “sentar a” to “sentar en” as I believe that this is the more used form.
However I still allow the original “… está sentado a…” as a correct answer,

Hi,

Some another errors in Basic to Intermediate Spanish

Level 41 - Tools:
una hacha - I think, it should be un hacha due to the stressed initial “a”

Level 42 - Nouns 2:
la ley - wrong note, not “masculine noun”

Level 43 - Household 3 - Bathroom:
la maquina de afeitar - should be la máquina … (also in the notes for la navaja)

Level 45 - Simple phrases:
la pantalla del ordenador está roto - I’m not sure, but maybe … está rota ?
no me gusta la comida China - … comida china ?

Level 49 - Adjectives 2:
oculto - is listed twice.

Level 50 - Transport:
¿dónde ésta la parada de autobús más cerca? - ¿dónde está …
¿dónde ésta la estación de ferrocarril más cerca? - ¿dónde está …

Level 52 - Children’s games & toys:
generoso - is listed twice
el dinosaurio - is listed twice.
andar en bicicleta and montar en bicicleta have identical translation. It would be better to give them some notes like similar to … to distinguish one from the other.

Hi,

Well spotted and thanks for the report.
I have removed the duplicate entries and corrected the other entries as suggested.
I have also uploaded new audios where necessary and added a few notes.

Hi,

Basic to Intermediate Spanish
A typo in Level 56 - Science 2, pronunciation is ok:
la nave especial - space ship, should be la nave espacial

Hi,

I have corrected the typo.

Thanks once again.

Hello

Duolingo Phrases with audio part 1

There are unnecessary spaces before commas. It causes no auto-acceptance if one is using keyboard and writes the answers correctly.

Hi,
Thanks for reporting.
I will take a look and delete any extra spaces that I find.

In your entire part 2 course, there are only two instances of " ," and they’re both in this item:
