  2. Which syllable is loudest? • hermano • trabajo • bueno • ganas • importante • inteligente

  3. Which syllable is loudest? • hermano • trabajo • bueno • ganas • importante • inteligente

  4. What is the rule that you think makes the emphasis fall on the next to last syllable?

  5. If a word ends in a vowel, n or s, the next-to-last syllable is the loudest.

  6. What about the following words? Where does the emphasis fall? • pared • madrid • tenedor • leal • mudar • eficaz

  7. What about the following words? Where does the emphasis fall? • pared • madrid • tenedor • leal • mudar • eficaz

  8. From the examples given, what would you hypothesize is rule governing where the emphasis falls in the words you just examined?

  9. If a word ends in a consonant other than N or S, the last syllable is the loudest.

  10. What would you hypothesize the accent marks in the following words tell a speaker to do? • día • fácil • difícil • rápidamente • águila

  11. An accent mark tells you that one of the two rules: ends in vowel, n or s or ends in any other consonant HAS BEEN BROKEN. • When you pronounce a word differently than the rules say, you write in the accent for a reader.

  12. How do I divide words into syllables to find the loudest syllable? • The only letters that can start a syllable are letters that can start a word in Spanish normally. • importante im por tan te • There are no words that begin with mp or rt or nt. Split these consonant groups.

  13. a, e, and o are strong vowels and they can stand by themselves. • leal has to be split le and al. • You cannot have two strong vowels side by side in the same syllable.

  14. That leaves i and u as weak vowels that don’t stand alone well. They often blend with a strong vowel, another weak vowel or have an accent in an emphsized syllable.

  15. buenos bue nos • siete sie te • almuerzo al muer zo • duerme duer me • colibrí co li brí

  16. The most common pattern in syllables in Spanish is…

  17. Consonant followed by vowel. • For example. • sí la ba • pa la bra • co no ce
