In this task, you will hear Esteban spell out a word letter by letter in Spanish and mention where the accent mark goes.
Listen to the audio and answer the question below.
Which sequence of letters is Esteban spelling out?
H-u-a-m-á-n
H-u-a-m-a-n
This is close, but it's missing an important element to the spelling.
H-o-m-a-n
This is not what Esteban spells out.
J-u-a-m-a-n
Not exactly. The first letter is different.
1
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.
