Are you a Spanish speaker who also wants to be proficient in Spanish reading and writing? Are you a translator who wants to differentiate yourself by offering high quality translation services? As a language professional, do you want to be taken seriously when posting in Spanish on social media pages and groups? Or perhaps you rely on spell checkers to correct your accent markings. If so, this workshop is for you!

Before assigning translation work, many professional translators and editors look very closely at accent markings as a quick measure of a translator's competency. Also, many native Spanish speakers either did not fully learn accent markings usage, or have not updated their written language skills, as Spanish accent rules have changed over the years.

Furthermore, spell checkers are not a reliable resource, as they cannot detect many accent marking errors.

Come learn how to accent-mark in a few hands-on, simple steps. There will be plenty of practice exercises.
