It is true that in casual, spoken German people commonly use the pronouns Er, Sie and Es to refer to things, depending on their gender. However using Der, Die and Das is also perfectly correct and very common. Since it is so hard to keep up with all types of articles and pronouns in German at first, we chose to teach these forms first in the program to avoid confusions, then later on we mention the possibility to use either these or the personal pronouns.
