I have been having real trouble in the area of wher to put accent marks escpecially in the recall section of the Lessons. For example, the word señor. If I were a beginner how would I know where to put the accent marks?

The ñ has a different sound than n. It's a different letter. I think you would help yourself by first studying the sounds in the alphabet. That ñ is a basic straight forward concept. Then you have your accent marks and their purpose.

The word señor isn't a word which has the graphic accent. Ñ is the letter n with tilde.The dictionary shows you if a word has or hasnot graphic accent.Don't worry!.Everybody makes mistakes in the recall section.

La palabra señor no es una palabra que tiene acento gráfico Ñ es la letra n con tilde.El diccionario te enseña si una palabra tiene o no tiene acento gráfico Don't worry!.Todos cometen errores en the recall section.
