September 29, 2006, Newsletter Issue #13: Don't Get Stressed About Spanish

Tip of the Week

When you learn to speak Spanish, it is important to know how to pronounce Spanish words correctly. The rules of emphasis in Spanish are: - If a word ends in 'n', 's' or a vowel, the stress is on the next to last syllable (cuenta, burro, muchachos) - With other words the stress is on the final syllable (tener, parasol) - If there are any exceptions to this rule, there is an accent over the stressed syllable (ladrón, inglés) Learning these rules will make it easy to read and speak Spanish correctly.
