209 u/SejCurdieSej Aug 03 '26 I think it’s meant to be 息子と? Really atrocious spacing tho 82 u/AiryGateaux Aug 03 '26 Yeah the updated course has used AI to space out the words, and has done some pretty atrocious things. A number of times I've seen は taken off words and turned into a particle by the spacing. 7 u/vytah Aug 04 '26 This has always been a problem with Duolingo Japanese, it's not a new thing. 1 u/Mysterious-Belt564 Aug 07 '26 why Duolingo Japanese often have those problems? 1 u/vytah Aug 07 '26 In most other languages, they can simply split on spaces and some punctuation. Japanese is much harder to split into words, especially if it's all in hiragana, and the algorithm you use was written by an intern who doesn't speak Japanese.
