Re: Learning Spanish - Great Website
 

Do you mean type it on a keboard or say it? Keyboard, depends if you're on Windows or Mac, Google it.

Say it.......well I have almost perfected a cross of Eli Wallach's Tuco and Arthur Daley.

Re: Learning Spanish - Great Website
 

This is what I have done (I don't know if it's the best way but anyway - it's my way:))

Create a document with all the Spanish special characters in:


Á
á
É
é
í
ó
ú
ü
ñ
¿
¡

Make them nice and big

Á
á
É
é
í
ó
ú
ü
ñ
¿
¡


Create a shortcut to the document.

When you need a letter click on the shortcut, copy your letter and paste it to where you want it. There's probably a better way...

I meant the keyboard way.... thanks for the advice.. I'll try that

Re: Learning Spanish - Great Website
 

Do you have English or Spanish keyboard?

If English keyboard, try this site http://symbolcodes.tlt.psu.edu/accents/codealt.html

If Spanish keyboard the accent key is next to the Ñ so if you want an e with an accent you press that key first and then the e and you get é.

There are lots of ways of using an English keyboard to write in Spanish, all the usual alt 164 etc, but for me if you intend writing a lot in Spanish, simply install a Spanish keyboard. It'll take a minute to install, a while to learn where everything is on a Spanish keyboard, but once used to it, it's easy peasy! Control Panel, Clock, Language and region, Change keyboards and add your chosen language. A simply "Alt, Shift" click takes you from English to Spanish keyboard and vice versa. Sounds a lot more complicated than it is, and once used to it, it's second nature, I would never bother faffing around with other methods. Obviously if you don't use Spanish much, the occasional "alt 164" might do you. ;)

We have free Spanish classes in our town 4pm-6 each every Tuesday & Thursday. Not brilliant but at least by turning up it makes us do it, which is usually the problem, getting started. Never knew retirement made you so busy!
