If a word ends in a vowel, or s or n, the stress is on the penultimate syllable.:

tristeza, conoces, saben
If a word ends in a consonant, except s or n, the stress is on the last syllable.:
repetir, ciudad, estupidez
For words that do no follow these rules, an accent is written over the vowel so that you will know to stress
that syllable:
salón, estás, filósofo

How to learn the pronunciation of the Spanish r?

There is no secret: you have to train yourself. Listen to as many natives as possible pronounce these two
sounds of the rolled r, and imitate them as often as possible. The most important thing to remember when
you produce this sound is to place the tip of your tongue, behind your teeth, at the level of the palate (just
like when you make the sound “d”). When your tongue is well placed, send air … rrrrr and roll! All the
sound comes from your language, so it’s up to you to play around with it. Our Spanish teacher Mirari even
recorded a video all about how to roll your R in Spanish.
