As a native spanish speaker , I felt as If I was back at my first grade spanish lessons, great job with the video!! Not many channels dare to talk about Tildes
Thanks so much for discussing this confusing topic! I'm still confused but significantly less... what I'd love to see is a video explaining why these exceptions are exceptions.
@@TheLanguageTutor That words loss their tilde but they still have accent. For example: Canción (Aguda word in singular) : CANCIONES; can-CIO-nes (Turns into Grave or llana word in Plural) without tilde because now is Grave, not Aguda anymore, And as Robin said Grave words don't have tilde when they end with N or S. If the word turns into an esdrújula word it conserves its tilde/accent. For Example: Árbol (grave o llana word in singular): ÁRBOLES; ÁR-bo-les (now in plural it is an esdrujula word) And remember that they always have accent, no matter if they end with N, S or vowel letter. Hope you find it helpful.
Thank you for this very helpful video, My name is kleanna Lujille de Ocampo,I am 8 yrs.old I live in the Philippines and I am learning a lot of helpful things from you videos Muchísímas gracias Dr.Danny Please greet me on your next video. :)
Thanks. I have only just leanrt this stuff after a couple of years of learning Spanish. I think it is good to introduce close to the start of learning, just after the Spanish alphabet.
Thank you Robin! Building on this it would be great to know when we use accents and when we dont. For example I've seen cuando, quien and como all used with and without accents. Is it that when they are used as a question they have an accent?
Thanks! I am a Spanish teacher but never had formal teaching about accent marks, just a teacher that demanded correct spelling with them always. This will help me show the why to curious students.
First off great video. Second Robin is a great teacher. Third - I needed that topic covered. I do have a question and it’s based on how Robin pronounced ‘yo’. It sounded like ‘jo’. There are other youtube Chanels that definitely pronounce it as ‘jo’ and Danny I think that I hear ‘yo’ when you say the word. My in person spanish teacher told me it is definitely ‘yo’ and never ‘jo’ she is from Mexico but one of the other Chanel’s tat I listen too - Butterfly she is also from México but she definitely says and even emphasizes that it should be ‘jo’. Can you either tell me what is really to be done or maybe cover it in a video. Thank you.
Both are correct, depending on the country you're in. I have heard some Spaniards & some Colombians say "jo". I think Dr Danny has addressed this in another video. (It wasn't the topic of the video but he did touch upon this pronunciation.)
Manu is right, it depends on where you are. In some countries you'll hear "jo" and in other places you'll hear "yo." It's the same as our dialect differences in English.
The Language Tutor thank you. So can you explain the fact that 2 Mexicans have opposite opinions? Is it a location with México or is it a class thing? Thank you Danny :)
In the castellano rioplatense (Spanish from Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay) "yo" is pronounced "sho", "yegua", "shegua" and it's the same with the "ll". "Lluvia" is pronounced "shuvia", ""llegar" "shegar".
Why does “cómo” have a tilde? Isn’t it a grave word? As such, wouldn’t the first syllable be stressed anyway? Is there a category for words with unnecessary tildes?
No son tildes innecesarias, Ken. Es un caso especial, que el video no abordó: la tilde diacrítica. Sirve para diferenciar las palabras que se escriben igual pero tienen una función gramatical o un significado diferente. «Cómo», con tilde, se usa cuando esta palabra cumple función exclamativa o interrogativa, pero se escribe sin tilde («como») cuando es adverbio, preposición o conjunción. En todos los casos es una palabra grave o llana; lo que cambia es la función. La regla general indica que las palabras de una sola sílaba no llevan tilde. Las excepciones se señalan con la tilde diacrítica. Por ejemplo, «el» (artículo determinado) y «él» (pronombre masculino singular de la tercera persona). Otro ejemplo: «si» (condicional o nota musical) y «sí» (adverbio de afirmación o pronombre personal). Otro más: «te» (pronombre personal) y té (sustantivo). ¡Saludos! :)
This was an excellent lesson. Can’t believe I’ve been pronouncing words incorrectly. Didn’t know accents were meant to be applied without tildes being present. Very informative.
Very simple way to explain things and her rules work, but because you rarely get things this simplified in classes and grammar books, this might confuse non-native speakers.
Great lesson. Please always give the meanings of the words you are using as examples. Even if just written under the Spanish word. Every little bit helps ;)
I am studying to pass the C1 DELE. I can use tildes but never could explain them. This video has been awesome to clearly explain how they works and will be useful for if I forget in the future. Thanks!
Honestly, I don't know haha! I just thought maybe it could fill in some gaps.. I also wonder how you do those "-ly" words (such as slowly, quickly etc.) in Spanish! and if possibe, maybe you could give us some examples of adverbs Thank you so much!🙂
Very good explanation indeed.But I just want to clarify one point where she generalizes it , saying all your conjugated verbs would be grave.I think that it works only for present tense conjugation only.Yo camino,Tú caminas ,Él camina,Nosotros caminamos ,Vostros camináis and Ellos caminaban.But it would not work for the Preterite tense like yo comí and el comió as these would be agudas.Please correct me if I am wrong.
Anyone else have problems not hearing the difference? This is so frustrating for me. I don't hear the difference in most of these words if you take the accent mark out. Like árbol -both ways sound the same
It’s funny I’m spanish speaker, can write fluently, spell, etc. But the one thing that trips me out is tildes and it’s so fucking hard to actually use them and to fully understand them.
Am I the only person who still can't tell the difference between a and â? I get the other stresses, but how about the â as in hablâ? How does that sound different from habla?
Dios, me doy cuenta lo complejo que es el español en algunos aspectos, por eso prefiero aprender Inglés y no español.... Ohhh lo olvidaba, ya se hablar español.... jejejeje
¿Qué hago si recuerdo la palabra pero no recuerdo dónde poner la tilde? ¿Comó sé qué palabras no siguen las reglas? Por ejemplo, La palabra "la cascara" I know there is a tilde on this word. Is there a way for me to know it should be "cáscara" if I can´t remember. Also, if I have only seen this word once and don´t remember it has a tilde, is there a way to recognize that it needs one?
May it depend on country you are. Am a Filipino and am staying right now in Spain. May Spanish don't know this except those really Spanish teacher. Sometimes they also pronounce the deferently. Education. Educaciong. Salon sa long CALLE caye.universidad universida. Localidad Localida.
Is a very hard subject, i am a native speaker in spanish and i was trying to explain this to friend in spanish, he speak english and is learning spanish but he didnt understood and this video is perfect for him.
As a native speaker I find it curious how they teach this subject in reverse of how they taught it to me in school, but not in a wrong way. They explained to us that the classification into aguda, grave, etc. depends exclusively on the syllable on which the emphasis is placed. And that after having classified it, one must apply the inverted rules to know whether to place the check mark. For example, "árbol" has the emphasis in "ar" cause is a grave word, and because it ends with a consonant different from "n" or "s", it must have the tilde.

as a native speaker whos parents didn’t teach to use accent marks this was helpful😋😆
Absolutely fantastic, well presented lesson on the mysteries (for me, at least) of accents in Spanish. Muchas gracias.
Glad you liked it!
AMAZING! CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELPED ME MILLIONS!
You’re welcome!!
Una lección exelente, entendí todos las palibras. Gracias, feliz domingo a tu familia.
Y a ustedes también.
Imagine getting heart from my favorite Spanish teacher 💓
Estupenda!
@@itreallyisjustSai 😂😂😂😂
You are so nice!
@@TheLanguageTutor THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. DANNY 😭 WHAHHAHA YOU NOTICED ME 😂
@@TheLanguageTutor
You forgot to explain that these rules doesn't apply to 1 syllable words.
This was excellent! The only thing missing was how the accent rules interact with rules for forming plurals. Perhaps this could be another episode?
Good idea!
@@TheLanguageTutor That words loss their tilde but they still have accent. For example:
Canción (Aguda word in singular) : CANCIONES; can-CIO-nes (Turns into Grave or llana word in Plural) without tilde because now is Grave, not Aguda anymore, And as Robin said Grave words don't have tilde when they end with N or S.
If the word turns into an esdrújula word it conserves its tilde/accent. For Example:
Árbol (grave o llana word in singular): ÁRBOLES; ÁR-bo-les (now in plural it is an esdrujula word) And remember that they always have accent, no matter if they end with N, S or vowel letter.
Hope you find it helpful.

Muchas Gracias Señorita.
Creo que Amazónico is with a Z 😂😂. I think Amazónico is with a Z. 🥰🥰 Love from Colombia. Excellent video 🥰🥰
so basically word Aguda is Grave :) Thank you!
The biggest take away from 2020
Jajajaja divertido.
two diferent words
Very simple way to explain things and her rules work, but because you rarely get things this simplified in classes and grammar books, this might confuse non-native speakers.
This was great helps with the spelling.
Glad it was a help to you!
I like the "Vowel -n or -s next to last". I've repeated that over and over now in my head. Think I've got it.
I'm confused on when to use the tildes I don't know how to tell the stressed syllable
This is excellent thank you. My pronunciation has improved immediately because of this. Thank you.
She is so clear and easy to follow. A great maestra!
Thank you so much!
This would have been more helpful if it showed the Tildes highlighted
Great lesson. Please always give the meanings of the words you are using as examples. Even if just written under the Spanish word. Every little bit helps ;)
fue muy útil muchas gracias. Me encantó el método que enseñaste.
Necesito saber mas del acento diacrítico, please
I am studying to pass the C1 DELE. I can use tildes but never could explain them. This video has been awesome to clearly explain how they works and will be useful for if I forget in the future. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
gracias! hope you'll make a lesson about adverbs soon though..
Sure! What do you need to know about adverbs?

So nice ..provides a lot of insight into pronounciation of words gracias profesor Robin bates and gracias profesor Danny Evans
She is fantastic
Yo anyone know better ways of describing this?

Wow!!! I love this. So very helpful!!

Thank you for the kind words! Glad we can help!
Wow. Great session thank you.
You are so welcome
Why does she keep pronouncing “v” with a “va” sound and not a like “b”??
¿Qué hago si recuerdo la palabra pero no recuerdo dónde poner la tilde? ¿Comó sé qué palabras no siguen las reglas?
Por ejemplo, La palabra "la cascara" I know there is a tilde on this word. Is there a way for me to know it should be "cáscara" if I can´t remember. Also, if I have only seen this word once and don´t remember it has a tilde, is there a way to recognize that it needs one?
So clear!!! Thank you! ❤
Thank you for watching Abigail!
What a great lecture! One of the best and clearest lectures I´ve had in TH-cam
¡Muchas gracias! Thank you for the kind words!
Perfecto cómo siempre :)
Perfect like always
Gracias amigo.
"Perfecto como siempre". En este caso "como" no lleva tilde.

Thank you Professor Robin for this session. Great Job, this was very clear. Im from Trinidad and would align myself to Latin /South American Spanish
Why are the syllables counted from the end?
Very well done!
Thank you very much!
que ingles tiene ella, wow
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Is a very hard subject, i am a native speaker in spanish and i was trying to explain this to friend in spanish, he speak english and is learning spanish but he didnt understood and this video is perfect for him.
Great video guys, thanks a million.
Our pleasure!
That outro started a little early m kay
gracias, mr Evans
De nada!
Wonderful lesson. Very grateful to both of you. Might want to add some subtitle under lesson 74 because it was hard to find
I just found this video while i'm working on my Spanish exercises and it helps me a lot .❤
thanks robin, i was so confused until i saw your explanacio'n
Thank you sooooo much. My pronunciation will improve tremendously.
Thank you 👍
She speak English to fast ...I prefer Dany
Wow! That was very helpful and perfectly clear! Thank you
I did not understand anything...hard to understand...
Se dice "amazónico", con Z.
Sí
Thanks Robin - can we have a download of your chart?
Thank you so very much.
Thank you Dr. Danny! I loved this lesson. You are the best.

Yeah! Thanks for the clarity. This was confusing to me at first because some other videos explain it like this.
Or banaye video ❤❤❤❤❤
I thought ~ was the tilde and ‘ was an accent.
🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful lesson gracias por la ayuda!!
Excuse me May I know that apperender is Grave or Aguda ?
Aprender es aguda porque termina en "r". Para ser grave tendría que terminar en vocal o en "n" o "s". Por lo tanto la sílaba acentuada es la última.
A super video.
I got it gracias
Really great teacher✨
It’s amazónico.
I did not understand
Sigue asi hermano yo se que tu puedes saludos desde la frontera
DianeRyanOneill, shoot me an email if I can help you. dannyevans3371@gmail.com
This is a tilde: ñ
This is an accent: á
There were several new words. I wish she translated them to English.
Sorry Maverick! We'll remember that next time.
