Ok, thanks ever so. On to 3rd section now, text input seems to be the next issue as one has to use the real accented characters to get the answers right. Seems obvious I suppose, but haven't got them available when I type.
E'acute, U'acute and N'tilder or something so far. Any thoughts? I locked up when hitting the button to actually say something too. I mean, the device went silent and did nothing; got it back when I killed the app. so still a little frustrated with it, but it is good brain fodder.

If you get it wrong, it will make you keep doing it till you get it right twice. Rob, the Duolingo doesn't reallly give instruction. You learn by making mistakes. I've got some books I downloaded from Bookshare and BARD, if I need deeper explanations. I connect my braille notetaker when I use it because I'm more of a tactile learner.
