Lesson 1.5

Question

I just redid lesson 1.5 as a bit of revision and on the recognize bit it gave the US flag and the choices were Italia, francia, portgues, and ingleterra? Obvioulsly none were right, my knowledge of flags is not good but I know that one. The answer given when it timed out was ingletrra.

What is going on, have we been taken over by the States and no one told me, or is there a glitch in the lessons?

Only reason it worries me really is because I don't know some of the other flags so if this is not the only error I may be learning them wrong.

Answer 1

Mine shows this. I tried it several times and it always gave "el inglés" as an option.

Yes, and the question is, "What language is spoken in the country represented by the flag?" - Luzbonita, Jun 1, 2011

The United States has no official language. A controversial topic at times. - 0074b507, Jun 1, 2011

Answer 2

delete-already answered

The answers are confusing because they are a mixture of country names (Brazil, not Portuguese; Spain, not Spanish) and languages (English; not U.S., French, not France). Apparently, you are to pick the language name represented by the flag and any country names are incorrect.

Answer 3

Ah my mistake sorry. Slopes away blushing.

Answer 4

Yes, as Tosh shows, I also went through it. You are confusing el inglés (English) with Inglaterra (England). The game was merely showing that in the U.S., English is spoken.

That video can be a bit confusing to beginners because you are learning both the names of certain countries and also the names of languages which are spoken in those countries.
