Hi everyone! I was finding it hard to differentiate the sound of the words with tildes than to those that doesn't have. So I end up memorizing it and its not effective for me for the longer run. so instead of memorizing i would just like to really understand and to be able to differentiate. I hope someone can help me. thank a lot.

Hola:

A while ago there was a similar question to which I posted a simple to understand answer. Here's a link if you wish to see it.

It's not that complicated.
Just focus on the stress.

Words with accent marks carry the stress there, provocó (past tense of provocar), whereas when no accent mark is present, it means that the stress goes in another place: provoco (first person present tense).
