So, now that you’ve learned how to pronounce “palabras agudas, llanas, esdrújulas and sobresdrújulas”, which one’s do you find most difficult?

very helpful, thank you.
can we say, that the prosodic accent falls normalmente on the second to last syllable for words ending with a vowel or “n” or “s” and on the last syllable for words ending with a consonant except “n” or “s”?
And that all words which don’t follow that rule have to receive a graphic accent?
