<!-- (Audio) Esteban: h-u-a-m-á-n, con acento en la última a. -->

--description--

In this task, you will hear Esteban spell out a word letter by letter in Spanish and mention where the accent mark goes.

--instructions--

Listen to the audio and answer the question below.

--questions--

--text--

Which sequence of letters is Esteban spelling out?

--answers--

H-u-a-m-á-n


H-u-a-m-a-n

--feedback--

This is close, but it's missing an important element to the spelling.


H-o-m-a-n

--feedback--

This is not what Esteban spells out.


J-u-a-m-a-n

--feedback--

Not exactly. The first letter is different.

--video-solution--

1

--explanation--

Esteban spells out H-u-a-m-á-n. Then he says con acento en la última a. This sentence gives extra information about the spelling.

Con acento means that a letter has the accent mark (´).

En la última a specifies the position. It refers to the final letter a in the word.

So the full sentence means that the last a in Huamán has an accent mark: á.

This detail is important because accent marks affect pronunciation in Spanish. So, con acento en la última a means that the last letter a has an accent mark: á.
