I’ve been studying French for just over 3 years now on Duolingo. One of the (many) things I really struggle with is accents. This comment on Ask a Manager really highlighted for me that this is something I should work on:

Mi papá tiene 47 años: “my father is 47 years old”
Mi papa tiene 47 anos: “my potato has 47 anuses”

Now I’m curious what homonyms I’m mangling in French. Is it a homonym if the accents are different?)
