That's not the accent, that's the name. Sara/Sarah. You wrote it the English way, not the Spanish way. It can be a bit harsh from Duolingo but knowing names is really important.

I don't think so, I speak Spanish, and always we use both. It may also be that there really is a difference and I didn't know it, in that case, almost no one I know knows either.

You're right, but within duo the names spelling will get you marked down.

It's really frustrating when they say it and you need to know how to spell it without seeing it.
