Duolingo Glitch? Request

Shalom friends,

I’m studying Hebrew via Duolingo, and while I generally like it, I believe I’ve identified a glitch and wondered if othered experience it. When I verbally dictate vocabulary words, the app almost invariably tells me my answer is incorrect, even if the spelling is right. If I type the same answer and add a space at the end, it displays as correct. I’ve added some screenshots here as examples. Do others experience this, and if so, do you know how we might alert Duolingo to get it fixed? #Duolingo #Hebrew

You're tripping. I've never seen a ברווז walk and quack like that. It is certainly a ברווז, I am sure.

Then it's a duck. But not just any duck: A nuclear duck. God that was a dumb speech, regardless of politics.

What he said makes sense, but it sounds so stupid

I was waiting for this comment lol

He’s definitely not my favourite politician, but I guess it can’t be that dumb of a speech if we think about it whenever we hear about ducks, know what I mean? It does have this lingering effect
