Key concepts students will learn:

  • In Spanish, all words have a stressed syllable, but not all of them carry an accent mark known as a tilde.

  • An orthographic accent (acento ortográfico) means the stressed syllable is represented through a tilde, while a prosodic accent (acento prosódico) is only pronounced, not written.

  • Sometimes the only way to differentiate two words in Spanish is by the accent mark, even if they are pronounced the same.
