What sound does this make?

I'm stuck and wondering if anyone can help me with this.

There's this "what sound does this make?" part of letters for Arabic. Problem is whenever I type in what I see it tells me its wrong, and if I'm meant to be typing in English there's no setting option I can find to switch the keyboard to English.

Is there some solution I'm just not seeing?

Gem prices

I had a look at my leaderboard and went to change my status thing and saw that some of them cost gems?? 500 gems??? This isn’t the only thing that I saw costs too many gems. Earlier today I saw that some people posted about the challenges going up from 30 gems to 100.

Changing my status isn’t really an issue, I honestly don’t care if i can’t change it if i’m being 100% honest but it’s just the fact that almost everything is starting to cost an insane amount of gems.

I posted this to hear what you guys think about this as well.

My tollerance is high but this is too much (Spanish)

You can't convince me she said something else than "después el escuela" which I think is highly wrong (not to mention it is not among the options)

[Spanish] Does thinking in French help when speaking in Spanish?

I am fluently EN-FR bilinguwl and starting back with Duolingo in preparation for a trip to Spain in the fall. I am hoping that the work I do won't be for nothing as it was in 2018 when I went to Cuba where it seemed as if everything I learned to say vaporized from my brain when it came time to chat with a local.

I'm wondering if there are any other EN-FR bilingual people who've learned Spanish and whether I need to think in French when preparing to speak in Spanish, given the similar sentence structures and grammatical rules. Looking back on my previous problems, I believe I was thinking in English of what I wanted to say in Spanish and the processing time made my brain fizzle out.

Should I approach my 2.0 Spanish lessons (and trip to Spain) with more of a French thinking mindset? Does it even make a difference?

ΤΙΑ!

I demand the recognition flopa needs to have!

YES, what you see here is the making of YOUR PEOPLE. I wrote that in duolingo channels and what? They don't know??

I demand a huge recognition of the multiple languages that forms the Floptropica State, may Jiaffei protect it from all the twinkies.

IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME YOU CAUSE US TROUBLES INSIDE OF OUR STATE, YOU HAVE PASSED THE LIMITS.

FLOPTROPIC FOR EVERRRR🥰🥰😍🤩😛😛😛😋🤪🥲😝🥲😘😘😘😘☺☺😚🥵🥵🥳💋💋

does finnish have any stories or speaking tasks?

hi, so i just wanted to ask if finnish has any of the stories or speaking tasks? as i used to learn german and that has stories, and i’ve seen some languages have speaking tasks and i feel like these would both be helpful? also side note i couldn’t figure out how to get a flair sadly so i said the language in the title

Patting Myself on the Back

I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer one month after starting Duolingo. Through two surgeries and radiation treatment I stuck to it daily—just to give myself a goal that didn’t have anything to do with my illness. I’m feeling proud!

How hard is it to get a streak repair?

I really don't know what tag to use so I used this, so I'm sorry. Anyways, I'm going on vacation, how hard will it be to get my streak repaired since I will have little to no wifi or data? I'm at 308 right now, really don't want to lose it permanently...

Quality of the Czech course

I‘ve just recently started the Czech course (in English). The pronunciation sounds off to me (compared to what I heard in Prague). What experience do you have with this course?

привет, Does anyone find themselves getting close to finish the course and decide to start completely over? I find myself to be better when I just did a complete reset.

Diamond tournament glitch?

Yesterday I finished in 10th place and qualified for the diamond tournament, today it says its just a normal diamond league but there are only 15 of us in it and it says the bottom 5 are in the demotion zone. Is there any way to fix this?
