Word stress — the emphasis placed on a syllable in a word — is essential for correct pronunciation and meaning.
To encourage proper pronunciation and help you build fluency faster, stressed vowels on this site are bold. There are no universal rules for where stress falls, and it can shift for multiple reasons. You need to memorize the stress of each word individually and familiarize yourself with common patterns rather than rely on fixed rules.
In some cases, shifting the stress can completely change a word's meaning even though the spelling stays the same. So while meaning is usually clear from context, correct stress is essential for competency in the language and avoiding misunderstanding.
