I feel stupid. I honestly can't hear it when I say it.

Question

I've used dictionary reference site to look at the definitions but it says some of the words you said were stressed and my book said were stressed aren't...
Do you think if I called my school's tutors hearing them say it would help?

I promise I'm trying to understand and do it myself, I'm just lost.

I looked at some rules on the also...
and it says before a vowel it isn't stressed, but otherwise it is...
if that was the case wouldn't it be stressed in my first line?

I'm so confused.
