I'm not learning Japanese (here from /all), but just to pile on the owl, I am still super salty they removed the community comments. I'm learning Hawaiian, and there just aren't a lot of other learning resources. Having actual kumus (Κ»Εlelo (Hawaiian language) teachers) answering questions about WHY the answer is what it is was super duper helpful.
That's why I really don't recommend Duolingo to anyone. It feels like they google translate solution.
My favorite example against Duolingo:
γη§γ―γγγγ§γγ was translated to: "I'm an apple." Which technically isn't incorrect but it's ridiculous and they probably ment to put it like in an answer to a question. "What fruit do you like?" - "As for me an apple"
Btw why is there so much hiragana in this sentence? I understand they try to make it easy for beginners but seriously it's almost hard to read not to mention it can create bad habits.

Duo seems like they're churning out AI slop these days, so annoying to have gotten that wrong!

How do you get the letters to show up without English above? I've been trying to get mine to do that.

Yeah, I always wondered if you need to list items backwards when translating because of things like this.
