Llamé a la secretaria. - I called the secretary
Llame a la secretaria. - Call the secretary
Everything is the same except for that little accent mark or tilde over the "e" in the first sentence. Did you notice how much the sentence changed with the use of the accent mark/tilde? It changed an "order" or "instruction" to a sentence in "past". This is really easy to see when you have the word written down in front of you but can be a lot harder when you are just listening to someone speak.
So in this video, we are going to do just that. The first part of the Spanish practice Maria is going to say a word and you have to figure out what syllable in the word is getting the emphasis. For the second part of the practice, Maria is going to say a sentence in Spanish and you will have to figure out if the sentence is an instruction or in past. You will do this by listening for the emphasis like in the first activity. The emphasis that Maria puts on words in the sentence with accents will let you know if the sentence is in past or if the sentence is an instruction.
Now if you have trouble when you are speaking Spanish giving the emphasis on words in past, we have a tip for you. Every time you see a tilde picture someone pinching you right as you are about to say it. This will give you the emphasis that the tilde will need for people to understand. Just make sure you do not go crazy with it and look as if you are an angry Spanish student. Maria says that it is important to overexaggerate the sound and then over time as you speak, slowly dial it back so that it sounds more natural.
Did you do better than Cody in this video? I hope you did! It can be a hard topic to get your head around but if you keep practicing it will make sense. Let us know how you did in the comments. Also, remember if you liked this video make sure to give it a thumbs up and subscribe.

Fun and useful video, many thanks. I should have known you would not have made a mistake but I thought that you had until I looked it up and learned that the word 'tilde' is a false friend. I know it in English as being this symbol '~' like in the word 'mañana', but thanks to your video - and looking it up - I now know that the Spanish 'tilde' means generally a written accent and most often what in English is called an acute accent - like the one over the E in 'caminé'.
¡Sí! ¡Excelente! El símbolo '~' se llama "virgulilla" en español (no "tilde"). ¡Gracias!
Gracias, Alan.
Alan I thought the ` was the actual tilde. Or so I was taught back in the Half-Life console days.
And in French, the word "virgule" is " , ": another faux-friend in the same small world of ponctuation...
Growing up in Southern California in the 1960s, my Spanish teachers used the phrase "con acento" to indicate an accent. Is "tilde" a regionalism?
Actually it’s encouraging to us who are struggling when Cody gets it wrong, we don't feel alone in feeling it's hard to learn another language.
Cody understaning a lot more Spanish. He's making great progress
Cody - I know you would have liked to have answered all of the questions right, but it helped me not feel so uptight that I was getting them wrong too. Please post more videos like this. Your videos are helpful yet fun to watch.
I agree Cody you speak for the clas it was difficult.
I agree. Cody is the guy that makes these videos accessible for me.
Es un ejercicio excelente. Necesito más y más ejercicios de escucha.
Don’t feel bad Cody. I missed a lot too. As Maria said, the differences are subtle. I think it just takes time listening an catching the difference when used in normal speech versus when learning a teacher exaggerates the last syllable in the pretérito. By the way, I love your videos! You guys are great! The best Spanish learning videos on the internet !
I love this format. I feel just like Cody. The listening ones were tough for me too.
The difference between the bright, in-your-face boldness of the country and the subtle sounds that differentiate meanings in this poetic language. Truely less is more in Spanish. Thank you for such examples.
I am so glad I stumbled across this channel. You guys are great!!
Yes. It provides wonderful listening practice, on one hand & emotional support & validation to see Cody struggle too. There's a real thing with most second language Spanish speakers acting superior & pretending it's a piece of cake, after they've mastered Spanish.
This is so helpful for learning Spanish!!! And Maria is so cheerful and charming, I could listen for hours.
cody you aren't alone, i answered 90% of the questions like you did. this one is real hard
I'm with you, Cody....this one was hard!!
As a beginner, I find it very useful to say the word she said over again out loud and then put the emphasis on a different part of the word to hear how it changes. I'm sure this will become more second nature over time, but for now, this is very useful.
No te preocupes, Cody.. Muy dificil para mi tambien. Leccion bueno! Gracias Maria ...y Cody ! Jay
Hi Cody, Stress accents also make a difference in English. Example: record as a noun (stress on re) vs as a verb (stress on cord). Digest as a noun (stress on di) vs as a verb (stress on gest). These are also very difficult for people learning English as a second language.
¡Tú eres una buena instructora! Gracias por eso. Necesitaba ayudar con escuchando diálogo en español. Y ahora puedo mejorar.
I LOVE your videos! They are incredibly helpful. Thank you SO much for your generosity is sharing your creativity to teach us! I'm learning so much and so quickly!
Soy de Corea e estoy aprendido Espanol actualmente. A mi me gusta su listening practice video. Gracias.
Muchas gracias a ustedes, siempre me encantan tus vídeos. ¡Y no te preocupes Cody! Con la practica, esto va a ser más fácil para nosotros, poco a poco. :)
Cody, you did great!! I’m still a beginner, but these videos are helpful with training my ears. Cody, your progress in Spanish is very evident. Keep up the good work. Love the skits you two do.. makes learning fun and enjoyable.
Thanks! I really appreciate that. My Spanish confidence took a hit in this video for sure. Maria and I are so happy to hear that you like the skits and the videos are helping. We are trying our best to create videos that make learning fun so that means a lot. - Cody
Loved this video; it was very humbling and I have a long way to go. A fun activity regardless. Keep up the great content!
Otra vez, un video excelente de Maria y Cody. Este video era un poco difícil para mí (sospecho que es similar para otros principiantes como yo) pero este tema era muy interesante y útil para mí. Este canal se está volviendo un favorito con videos graciosos pero inteligentes. ¡Gracias Maria y Cody!
You two are doing a brilliant job. I watch several videos a day. Muchisimas gracias!
This is something I'm working on. Thanks. More like this would be appreciated. Thanks!
This lesson was fun, but also immensely practical. Thank you for posting it!
Pobre Cody pero no te preocupes porque todos empieza cometiendo errores y por eso nos aprendimos mucho. Cometer errores es la única forma de conseguir lo que quieras. Ánimo Cody Ánimo 🎉
Loved this video ... And love your dynnamic! You two have good energy juntos
Lo hice fatal! LOL I assumed I'd ace this, but I was clammin' it right along with you, Cody! Thanks for the great video. You guys are great.
!La actividad fue muy divertida!
muchas gracias por hcer este video
espero que haceis mas prcticas como esto en el futuro
!ustedes los mejores!
This is so helpful and fun. I like learning along with Cody.
eres el mejor maestra. Me encantan tus videos. Solo deseo que todos los hispanohablantes hablen tan claro como usted.
Gracias. Bueno, ojalá con los videos puedas entrenar tu oído y sea más fácil enetendernos a todos. Gracias por vernos :)
Subscribed. Brilliant content guy. Learning Spanish as moving to Spain. And this level and style of content suits me perfectly.
Esto eres un video muy bien. ¡Me encanta! Era muy bien informacion aprender porque no sabia (¿sabía?) Todo de esta regla. Sabia muchos de las repuestas a los preguntos. Pienso que soy mejorando mí español mucho con sú canal y otros (no soy fluido ahora, ¡pero van a continunar a trato!).
Thank you guys Maria And Cody, this video is so so much useful for all of us i love it so much
I just hit the subscribe button and don't know why it took me this long to subscribe. I can speak spanish really well but my listening skills need practice. Muchisimas gracias para este video. Cody es muy gracioso y me encanta que hay otra gente quien tienen problems con escuchando a español. Espero que continuan de hacer mas videos, Cody y maria.😁😁
Do we say "gracias para..."or gracias por...?
2/3 of the film I broke my ass laughing. Codi, you´re the man! 😂🤣 It´s so much more entertaining NOT having been edited (I mean the mistakes). Real fun. Watching your films for tha past couple of days (when I discovered them on the net), I´m getting closer and closer to restart my Spanish lessons.
Muchas gracias, Maria y Cody!
Gracias por tu ayuda!
LOVE THOSE VIDEOS AND THE ENERGY BETWEEN YOU GUYS !! I'm with you Cody,,, frustrated !! Lolllll
This was pretty easy for me.......i only missed 2 in the second activity!
Está bien Cody, buen trabajo!!! 👍 you are still way ahead of me in your Spanish journey 😂 graciás por el vídeo......me encanta los actividades de escucho!
Abrazos de Texas 👐
You guys make learning spanish very fun! You guys are hilarious!
Yes. We have that type of emphasis in English but it's not nearly as common (desert and dessert).
As I have turned my attention specifically to being able to understand Spanish better and faster, I've become a big fan of your videos. Thanks.
¡Yay entendí todo de esto! Esté vídeo fue genial, escuchando claro es la parte difícil.
From an old latino in latino in Canada , you two guys are awesome.
Creo que no es demasiado dificil para mi, porque puedo oir las diferencias. Y, tus videos son muy, muy buenos! Muchas gracias Maria y Cody!!!
La última prueba fue un poco difícil para mí pero obtuve una nota decente al fin. Pero estoy de acuerdo con las opiniones de la mayoría. Esto es un tema que necesitamos. Muchas gracias, Cody y Maria.
You are the best Spanish teacher ever! Yes, it was hard, but hard is good!
Muchas gracias, Maria y Cody! La confusion es muy entendible! Al cuestion de si hay problemas similares en ingles, mis estudiantes de ESL tenian dificultades con message y massage, local y locale, personal y personnel, y tal vez hay otras, per no me acuerdo de ellas. Si, se necisita mucha practica escuchar la diferencia!
I never learned this! Such a helpful video thank you. It seems as my Spanish pronunciation gets worse my understanding gets better lol
This has cleared up some confusion for me in Spanish. Many thanks!
Estuvo facil para mi. Me parace que progreso dia por dia. :) Muchas gracias por la actividad. Ustedes son los mejores profesores de Espanol en RUclips ;)
Un video muy útil y también bastante divertido. En un tema muy importante para mí: escuchar el énfasis. Ustedes dos se están convirtiendo en mejores y mejores maestros. Me gusta especialmente que María esté usando sus habilidades teatrales con tanta libertad. Y la contribución de Cody también es muy útil para mí. ¡Tu participación honesta y clara es admirable! Las lecciones se vuelven más interesantes e informativas todo el tiempo. ¡Sigue adelante!
¡Qué alegria leer este comentario! Nos regalaste una sonrisa.
Cody, I was right there with you - failing miserably. I could not hear the difference in emphasis.
You are correct. She was tricking us; she was speaking faster on each excercise!😉
I'm glad someone else saw Maria's trickery! I still think she was just saying the same word twice. lol - Cody
Thanks for the great training exercises, very helpful! Cody has indeed come a long way, keep up the great work!
There are a few examples in English where the stress changes depending on the meaning. I think it's typically verbs that can also be nouns e.g. "present" (regalo) and "to present" (presentar). There are other examples but I don't remember them at the moment :/
Como siempre, me entanta tus videos.
Great exercise! I found the listening part easy as I could listen and correctly write out the sentence, but I still struggled answering correctly because my vocab and grammar is so weak. So the video definitely helped me discover my weak spots -- time to study up on some basic vocab/grammar! Thanks for the vid :)
Esto fué muy facil, me gustaria algo más difícil) )) Gracias a lo ambos de ustedes por esas videos!
I love Cody's T-shirt! Lol
I enjoyed the format of this video, learning along with Cody. And I'm with you Cody on the "llamé a la policía" example :)
Este Video me ayudado mucho y gracias por hacer este Video para mejorar mi comprensión de escucha, y también creo que Cody aprendido mucho también
Muy muy dificil. Pero me gusta!
Cody no estas solo!! Pienso que necesitamos mucho más practica! Más vídeos por favor :)
Síííí...necesitamos o tal vez en mi caso yo necesito nuevas orejas! 🤣😂
Totally with you Cody, sometimes I hear right but then get it mixed up, glad to have Cody there to vent the frustration for me
Cody es correcto .. llame a la policia escucha como in orden?
I went exactly the same way as Cody on every single question ... surely the speaker is incorrect 😂😉
This video is awesome I like it ,this is very helpful ,, you are doing great job ,,, thanks for this video
Creo que este es un video muy útil. Quizás su mejor video. Entendí todo sin subtítulos ahora. Tengo consejos para Cody. Escucha para emphasis solo para la última syllable. Si no existe en la ultima syllable es orden o presente. Gracias por ayudarme.
Great activity. This was very helpful. Thank you!
este video me ayuda mucho. ahora yo se que necessito oir con mas cuidadosamente el enfasis de cada verbo para decidir si es un orden o preterito.
Great listening activity! Cody I was like u not to worry! Vamos a llegar alli un dia ojala!
VERY helpful thankyou!! you guys do a great job
Great video. Very helpful. Please more like this
Really good video. Very helpful guide on a difficult subject
No one ever explained this to me :o ! Very useful and good to finally know !
Very interesting that, English is a stress-timed language where the stresses fall alternatively whereas Spanish as we see here uses stresses to emphasise meaning and tense etc. Very difficult for an English speaker but enjoyable none the less.
i love the editing of this video
Great video. Cody did really well on the listening when given a single word, but when given an entire sentence, the additional information overloaded his ears. This happens to me all the time. My brain is still learning to parse the sounds into individual words. I did well on the listening quiz because I knew the key word was at the beginning of the sentence. Not sure I would do so well if Maria had put the key word to listen for in the middle of the sentence. Thank you! Your videos are a major part of my education.
I love your videos. You guys are really onto something. This one, especially, was a great listening exercise for me. I hope you don't mind my requesting a topic for a future video: I could really use something that gives a lot of practice listening to mandatos formales, informales, affirmativos y negativos, including reflexive verbs and object pronouns, all together. I've been looking for something I can listen to repeatedly to hear the most common ones over and over again until they just sound right and I don't have to wrack my brain to remember the rules as I'm trying to speak.
Thanks for the videos! That was a tricky lesson but very useful. I would like more listening activities as I often have trouble understanding when people talk to me but your Spanish is so much cleaner than Chilean spanish!
He escuchado que el español chileno es bastante difícil de entender, incluso para los hispanohablantes nativos de otros países.
I am with you on this one Cody.
Me encanta este ejercicio . Muchas Gracias Maria y Cody
les adoro muchísimo!!!
Este video está demasiado divertido porque mi maestro de español siempre estaba enojado conmigo porque yo llamo a mi padre una papa!
An example of an English equivalent would be asking a question. Obviously we just put a question mark when written, but sonically you are placing an inflection at the end.
¡Muchas gracias por compartir eso! Fue difícil y útil para mí
One example in English where changing the placement of the accent changes the meaning is the difference between 'dessert' (sweet food) and 'desert' (arid land).
¡gracias por la ayuda!
These videos are so helpful
Hola.. you would like to exchange languages
I am a native Spanish
Me encantó mucho este vídeo como los otros que han hecho. Se me dificultó la segunda parte aunque ya tengo título de lenguas extranjeras con español como concentración.
Dios mio. I'm going to use this with my Spanish 3 students. It will help them greatly!!
Muchas gracias, Maria y Cody. I only missed one!
Actually we definitely have the equivelant of accents in English (EN-glish). to-MORR-ow, EM-pha-sis, chim-pan-ZEE, etc. We even have words like de-FENSE(meaning being general, as in home defense, defense attorney...) where the emphasis changes when you are speaking of athletic competition, it becomes DE-fense. Same thing with OFFENSE. I did get one of these wrong on the quiz, and when I played it back I still couldn't hear the difference...tells me I need more listening practice. Thanks for another excellent video!
Maria y Cody! Muchas gracias! Espero otro vídeo!
¡Gracias, Tatiana!
Mi gustó este video mucho! Es muy difícil pero aprendí mucho.
Oh my gosh. Maria, I’m with Cody! 😂😂😂You tried to trick us. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks, Shan J! I'm happy to hear someone else agrees. -Cody
WhyNotSpanish Hahahaha! 😁
You guys a so cool! I love your vids!
Whoa, this exercise is hard! I'm going to try listening more carefully.
El pretérito es difícil para mi, pues, poco a poco Cody y yo mejorar.
Estoy contigo Cody,! Fue muy difícil para mi también escuchar las diferencias en las palabras cuando están en las frases completas. Cuando las palabras fueron sola estaba más fácil pero.... un lección difícil. Tengo que enseñar las orejas más.
This is fun to watch and not intimidating for beginners 😊
You are the BEST !!!!
Cody..... you da man!!!!!
Tuve tantos errores cúanto Kody, me quedé confuso tengo que ver el video mas veces. Gracias por enseñar nosotros.
