    My keyboard is in english too but is even more easy I just have to press CTRL + ALT + n. But it's not supported in ms word but even if that doesn't work I can change my keyboard language in the language bar with 2 clicks

    Karlita - But you can just add a spanish keyboard User control panel I have it installed, but it takes time to remember where the letters are

    My alt + combination button doesnt work, so I do the whole CTRL + ALT + a,e,i,o,u Erito, but it doesnt work for n

    But hey, spanish keyboard is very similar to the english one, the french one is just confusing, they have different orders, its not QWERTY something like AZERT...

    Yeah, when i had a PC I used the same method as Erito ( idk about u but I had a toshiba ), but now I have a mac so I just press Command + N sooo easy now!! I tries to teach the language teachers at school how to use accents, tildes, and tones, but only a few got it I can even mess with the punctuation

    My chem teacher is very funny; he tries to speak Spanish too hard, and when we were learning species structures yesterday, he wrote on the board:

    ¿species para usted¿

    my reaction was: "Isnt it supposed to be UstedES?"
    my friend's response: "wth is with that upside down question mark at the end!?"

    LOL
    FYI ya Noor that was ykw

    Oooh the french keyboard drives me insane, even tho I know it for the most part... Because I was at my cousin's in France and we were playing games and the keyboard shortcuts and cheats still follow where keys SHOULD be on an English keyboard. So when it prompted, "press Q", my cousin and I were hitting somewhere that didn't work, til it occurred to me to press A

    Oooh have fun! ¡¡Diviertete!!

    yeah lol tchr's Spanish is weird xD I didnt even tell u how he taught for the remainder of class, since it's not relevant to Spanish but we were rotfl bc of his odd and often incorrect notions on how to do an accent

    FYI if u wanna learn something random, Usted is formal singular You, while Uds. is for both inf and formal plural You (all... Y'all )

    LOL, it's like worrying about learning American English and then go and live in the UK

    And what about you? Are you gonna stick to Spanish from Spain?

    I don't know which -if any- version of Spanish is more correct; what I meant is that there's no reason to worry, maybe you haven't noticed but here for example there are members from different countries and we have no problem whatsoever to understand each other (as long as we stick to standard vocabulary).

    ¡Buena suerte en tu examen!

    la mejor manera de aprender un idioma es que te guste y lo practiques a diario y todo lo que hagas tiene que involucrar ese idioma como por ejemplo: que veas tv en español con subtítulos y escuchas cada palabra y la vas comparando con los subtítulos y la repites hasta que la memorizas o por ejemplo si lees un libro en español y tienes tu diccionario de inglés a la par y vas traduciendo las partes que no entiendes, ojo puede que al principio tus oraciones no tengan mucho sentido pero con el tiempo y la práctica veras tu progreso y cuando menos lo esperes estarás hablando español.
