Prof. Jason muchas …
Prof. Jason muchas gracias for the nice video, I’m relatively new learner of this language. I think when it comes to the word “miércoles” the written accent is there to stress the first sylable instead of the sylable before the last since “miércoles” ends with an -s, other wise it would’ve been pronounced as miér-COL-es with the stress on “col”. and to break down the diphthong the written accent should be on the -i and not the -e.
please professor Jason and youtubers, correct me if i’m mistaken
