rule 1. if a word ends in A O U E I N or S the letter next to the last syllable a stressed
eg
somBREro
rule 2. If the word ends in any letter that isnt that of above or N or S, the last syllable is stressed
eg

Rule 3
If its neither 1 or 2, it as an accent make
eg

Hrm, shame I didn't read this thread before I came home tonight, I was on the train, with a very very hot spanish chick sitting opposite me.
Asking her these questions would've been an interesting way to start a conversation!
