Metsis:Having said that I still recommend Lernu over Duolingo at the very beginning, because the later, eh... how to put this diplomatically, is more US English oriented than is advisable for a learning platform for the whole world.I do agree.
because it marks everything wrong. e.g. possessives: via + kato = tio estas via kato per the example but marked it in red=wrong...

"Leash" estas "kondukŝnuro/kondukrimeno/kondukilo"
"Put on" estas "surmeti"
Bibliotekisto estas kun ruĝaj okulvitroj.
"kun", "per", "al", "de", "da" kaj multaj aliaj prepozicioj neniam uzas akuzativon.
Plateful => plena plado, pocketful => plena poŝo, glassful => plena glaso.

Okey, I thought you had an issue with extra spaces, but you seem to have issues with the language.
First take a look at my previous answer in this thread. I gave you links to the grammar section here at Lernu and a Duolingo page giving a compact explanation of the accusative case (and if that term doesn't say anything to you, watch this Youtube video first..
Second you need to learn what prepositions to use with what expressions, do not assume that there is a 1:1 correspondence between the English and Esperanto ones.

your help.
What I find is that it is very difficult to find help for a nubie like me because those who are "experts", as in many fields, have no patience and do not understand why it seems difficult when it is so easy and obvious to them.
I am a dentist so obviously I have the ability to learn.
All I am trying to do is find a basic understanding of what to use and when and there are so many it is hard to corrilate.
You know like
Who, what where when how why etc. That way when I see • Kiu estas tiu viro? I know that is who is that man?
and again I know it is not always that simple, but it would be a start.
Yes, I know it is much more complicated than that with all the possible modifiers but those can be added as I go along.
BTW do you know if lerni still has the tutor program or is that gone? I remember there were lessons which would be sent to a person who would then correct and return by email th corrections and answer questions.
Thanks again for your comments
