Today, I'll like to show you how to type accents on the vowels in Spanish. You probably noticed the slanted tilde on top of vowels in words such as mamá, papá, José, María, día and dólar. Note that those bellow are to be used only with Windows. Later, I'll post the codes to type on a Apple computer.

Known issues with the method of using cryptic codes:
- Please, use the "numeric keypad" located to the side, rather than the numbers along the top. On a laptop computer you can activate them usually with an individual shortcut including the FN-Key.
- Sometimes, only one of the two Alt keys will work.
- If you still have troubles, just Copy and Paste the required symbol from this page.
Enjoy writing correct Spanish! If you want to learn Spanish professionally, please let me know to arrange for it.
