Spanish Intonation & Stress Test
Read five short Spanish sentences aloud: a statement, two questions, a list and a contrast. We measure how your pitch moves on each one and check that stress falls where native speakers put it.
How It Works
Analyzing your speech...
This usually takes 5 to 15 seconds.
Why test your Spanish intonation and stress?
Melody carries meaning
The same words can be a statement, a question or a correction depending on how your voice moves. Getting the sounds right is not enough if the melody says something else.
Measured from your voice
Your pitch is tracked through each sentence and drawn as a line, so you can see whether you rose or fell instead of guessing.
Judged by the rules of the language
Every language has its own stress and rhythm system. The test checks you against how Spanish works, not against the patterns of another language.
What the intonation test scores
Sentence melody
Whether your voice ends the right way for a statement, a question, a list and a contrast.
Stress and emphasis
Whether prominence lands on the right syllable and the right word.
Rhythm
Whether your timing matches the natural beat of Spanish.
Expressiveness
How much your pitch moves overall, from flat to lively.
Test another speaking skill
Each test looks at a different part of how you speak Spanish.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Spanish intonation test work?
You read five sentences in one recording. The pitch of your voice is tracked through each sentence and the movement at the end is measured in semitones. An AI phonetics coach then listens for stress, rhythm and emphasis. Measured pitch and the listening pass are combined into four subscores.
What is the difference between intonation and stress?
Intonation is the melody of a whole sentence, such as rising at the end of a yes/no question. Stress is the extra weight on one syllable in a word or one word in a sentence. Both change how natural and how clear you sound.
Why does my question sound like a statement?
Usually because the pitch falls or stays flat at the end where it should rise, or rises on the wrong word. The sentence-by-sentence result shows which way your voice moved and which way it needed to move.
Do I need a quiet room?
A quiet room helps. Pitch tracking needs a clear voice signal, so background noise or music can hide the movement of your voice.
Is this test free?
Yes. It is free to use without an account, with a daily limit on the number of tests.
