Mexico: Using the Word “Joven”

No accent in joven. But its plural does takes accent “jóvenes”
How can you “teach” spanish to foreigners if you don’t even write the language well enough?
We do the same in French. We used the word \garçon\ that litterally means \boy\.
Corrected. Thanks for the notification.
