Language Hints

The accents are easy to remember once you know. They are not for  emphasis (like French) but to tell you the sound and pronunciation. 

S with an accent becomes Sh. 

C with an accent becomes Ch. 

Z with an accent becomes j or dj or ge as in George.

Information from Kumeu river winery in New Zealand.
