1. Objective

By the end, you will identify and explain how “Word stress” works in new examples.

2. Discover

Read these forms slowly: shtëPI, puNOJ, TIranë, shQIpëri. What recurs in each example?

3. Understand

This lesson isolates accent tonique in real Albanian words. Read the whole word, then identify the exact letter or group being practised: pronunciation and spelling should stay connected.
