Re: Kie loĝas Sofia, via fratino? (en → eo)

It is not bad in the sense that it is not wrong, but it is an unusual word order.

...and is my sentence with 'je' really incorrect?

Yes, because al fits here indicating the direction. Je should be avoided when the phrase is clear enough to use a particular proposition.

Re: Görmek

By the way, here is a real example of the above usage that you will often see in Turkey:

Meaning: no smoking. Literally: in this building, cigars won’t be smoked.

Re: Görmek

In this case, you see a future tense (not sure about its name in English) used in a modal meaning (to express impossibility or prohibition). I. e., he will never see colors, not just in this particular situation.

An update: it seems that you still can use the keyboard for picking words, just start typing. However, it is worse than typing whole words and phrases.

No keyboard option for the French from English course, for example. Definitely no Cyrillic or Hebrew alphabet there.

Re: Why am I 'A' pilot, but Mark is only pilot?

In Ukrainian я лікар would be " I am a doctor " .

And, equally, it can be „I'm the doctor” (when spoken, the «я» is stressed).
