I guess in the long run "yes", right now I would like to know just enough why it is failing... a typo in my part, an issue with Sololearn or some other?

it appears some of my problems are with playgroundn not being patient enough to wait for http response, and also some problems with my data connection. I have just managed to get html back from the request
