Stress mode

Tap the stressed syllable — master Greek accent placement one word at a time.

What is Stress mode?

Stress mode drills where the accent falls in Greek words. Each card shows a term with stress marks (ά, έ, ή, ί, ό, ύ, ώ) and asks you to tap the stressed syllable. Getting accent placement right is essential for pronunciation and for reading Greek confidently — native speakers rely on stress to parse words in speech.

How Stress mode works in wordlet

Stress mode is available on Greek decks (language set to Greek). Terms must include stress marks on the accented vowel — for example, καλημέρα with the accent on έ. Tap the letter you think carries the stress; wordlet highlights correct and incorrect taps. Audio plays the term via text-to-speech so you connect the written accent to how the word sounds. Ratings feed FSRS like any other study mode.

Why stress practice helps you remember

Stress is not decorative in Greek — it changes how words sound and sometimes distinguishes meaning. Drilling stress separately from meaning builds a reflex for where to place emphasis when speaking. Pairing visual stress marks with audio reinforces the link between spelling, sound, and rhythm. Cards you miss return sooner until accent placement becomes automatic.

When to use Stress mode

Use Stress mode when you are learning Modern Greek and want focused practice on accent placement. Add stress marks to your card terms, set the deck language to Greek, and run a Stress session alongside flashcards or Learn mode. Combine with Listen mode for ear training and Articles mode for definite-article practice on the same deck.
