1. A computer-implemented method for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that teaches correct placement of accent marks on Spanish language words through a particular sequence of graphical elements, the method comprising:

  • receiving, through a GUI presented by a mobile computing device that is a handheld device with a rectangular form factor display presented in portrait mode, a selection of a graphical word element corresponding to a word that is output on a top region of the display to test as part of a Spanish language teaching program;

    identifying, by the mobile computing device, a particular word set that corresponds to the word from among a plurality of word sets;

    outputting, in the GUI presented by the mobile computing device and based on the particular word set, a first graphical prompt element for a user to identify whether the word has a particular ending characteristic that corresponds to the particular word set after the word is output on the display such that the first graphical prompt element is visible to the user and displayed within the top region of the display in the portrait mode, in the GUI presented by the mobile computing device, vertically below the word;

    receiving, through the GUI presented by the mobile computing device, first user input comprising selection of a first graphical response element that corresponds to one of a plurality of first responses to the first prompt that are presented in the GUI;

    determining, by the mobile computing device and based on the particular word set, whether the first input correctly identifies the particular ending characteristic for the word;

    outputting, in the GUI presented by the mobile computing device and based on (i) the determination of whether the first input is correct and (ii) the particular word set, a second graphical prompt element for the user to identify whether the word has a particular stressed syllable that corresponds to the particular word set after the first graphical prompt element is output on the display such that the second graphical prompt element is visible to the user and displayed within a middle region of the display in the portrait mode, in the GUI presented by the mobile computing device, vertically below the first graphical prompt element;

    receiving, through the GUI presented by the mobile computing device, second user input comprising selection of a second graphical response element that corresponds to one of a plurality of second responses to the second prompt that are presented in the GUI;

    determining, by the mobile computing device and based on the particular word set, whether the second input correctly identifies the particular stressed syllable for the word;

    outputting, in the GUI presented by the mobile computing device and based on (i) the determination of whether the second input is correct and (ii) the particular word set, a third graphical prompt element for the user to identify whether the word has an accent mark after the second graphical prompt element is output on the display such that the third graphical prompt element is visible to the user and displayed within a bottom region of the display in the portrait mode, in the GUI presented by the mobile computing device, vertically below the second graphical prompt element;

    receiving, through the GUI presented by the mobile computing device, third user input comprising selection of a third graphical response element that corresponds to one of a plurality of third responses to the third prompt that are presented in the GUI;

    determining, by the mobile computing device and based on the particular word set, whether the third input correctly identifies whether the word has an accent mark; and

    outputting, through the GUI presented by the mobile computing device, a results graphical element with results that identify whether the user correctly identified whether the word has an accent mark through the selection of the first, second, and third graphical response elements.
