If some writes Lernojaro it is perfectly fine because we know that it is one word. However, when this word is spoken, how do people know that it is a single word rather than two words?

Because you know that, when you speak esperanto. It is the same principle, that the German know what Hottentottenstottertrottelmutterbeutelrattenlattengitterkofferattentäter means. And by no means it is a single word!

The accent in lernojaro is different than in lerno jaro. In the first there is no accent on the e. In the second there is.

Thats interesting. I wasn't aware of this. So, -o will be doubled to -oo by the end to indicate gap between two words.

I think that he referred to the fact that in "lerno jaro" (wherever this combination may appear) you have two primary stresses, one on the e and one on the a. However in lernojaro you have only one primary stress on the a and maybe a seconday stress on the e.

Yes, I got it. These stresses on 'e' and 'a' will happen 'automaticaly' if I try to produce double 'fading'-Oo_ by the end of lerno and jaro.

I'm not certain that I understand what you mean about the "double 'fading'-Oo"; however, Esperanto does not have elongated final vowels to indicate the end of a word. Because the next to the last syllable receives the natural stress, that up-down "punch" signals the end of the word. If I saw LER-no JAR-o, there are two next-to-last-syllable "punches"; whereas, the word ler-no-JAH-ro only has one.

You know it is one word because usually two nouns don't appear one next to another without a preposition:

Kion vi faros en la venonta lernojaro?
*Kion vi faros en la venonta lerno, jaro? (??)

Yikes. This seems a little difficult. I guess I will have to practice pronouncing things better.
