We're talking about, say, learning Spanish and Duolingo be like "now translate this very long and overly specific sentence to English"

Then you end up trying to construct the English sentence even though you're learning Spanish

Here's an example where I think my sentence is perfectly fine, but it just expected a different word order. It expected me to put If at the beginning, but I didn't notice it was capitalized.

Korean doesn't even have capital letters, why is it doing some gotcha about English capitalization when I already know English?

Hi, you created the Korean course right? Thanks for contributing!

If you have any feature requests or suggestions please put them here: Feature Requests

There's also a collection specific for question types: Question Types Collection

Yeah, I'm just testing it out. For a true Duolingo experience it would need fill in the blank and audio

"Fill in the blank" is now available, just got done coding it.

If you want to try it out, I created a new course "Testing out new question types".

Yeah agree, I’ll definitely implement that one.

Right now I’m working on “match the cards”.

Edit: For audio I’m not so sure on how I would do it. I don’t think most people would record it themselves when creating a course so I would need to generate it. Then you’d have the issue about correct pronunciation…
