Spanish accents with mac keyboard

A sure way for you to start to learn to speak Spanish fluently is by typing the words you've learnt and review them over your Mac/PC. Here’s how you can write the Spanish accented letters with a Mac keyboard. First, locate the Option key. It either has:
The word “OPTION” written on it (dead give-away)A symbol which looks a bit like a stretched out Z with another horizontal line at the topOr it might be the same key as “alt”, so look out for that one too
To get the accents that look like this one: é, hold down option and then press e, then release both keys and press the letter you want accented, as follows:
Option + e, then e = é
Option + e, then a = á
Option + e, then i = í
Option + e, then o = ó
Option + e, then u = ú
To get the one that appears over the n, which looks like this: ñ, do the following:
Option + n, then n = ñ
And for the other thing that appears above the u, which looks like this: ü, do the following:
Option + u, then u = ü
Finally, you’ll also need to know the upside-down exclamation and question marks. For them:
Option + 1 = ¡
Option + Shift + ? = ¿
