@hulyald @leahcaitrin @duolingo (And in the meantime, skipping ahead on the website would get you around this for now)

[Cindy Blanco @YeahThatCindy]

@hulyald @leahcaitrin @duolingo There was a problem here (a bug) with listening exercises on Android, and it'll be fixed in next week's app update!

[Cindy Blanco @YeahThatCindy]

@sahikhurana I agree! I think the "other" category probably also captures learners who are interested in culture and entertainment media—especially when it comes to studying Japanese and Korean!

@trans_lingual @LinguistJosh @duolingo Yes, for this position it is! (And I understand about not wanting to relocate 😢)
