Buenos Dias

Hola,

Me Llammo Sue. Soy de Inglaterra y yo vivo en Hertfordshire. Yo tengo un marido, uno hijos y dos hijas. Yo quiero estudier espanol para mi gusto.

Hello everyone,

As you will see from above I have only just started to learn spanish (about a week and a half) and I am studying alone using a range of methods.

One question I hope someone may be able to answer - if you don't mind - is how to get accents and upside down question marks and exclamation marks on a standard english keyboard running windows?

Gracias

Sue

Hello from me! The characters are dead easy. In this box I'm typing in, there is a little white rectangle in the middle on the top row. Click on that and you will get a drop-down box with all the characters you have dreamed of! :)

Good Morning Sue! ¡Buenos Dias Sue!

Welcome aboard.

If what you are looking for, for a regular keyboard outside of Tomísimo, you can use the following.....

Press at the same time ALT +:
160 - á
130 - é
161 - í
162 - ó
163 - ú
164 - ñ
165 - Ñ
173 - ¡
168 - ¿

Hope this helps!
:)

Mucho Gracias,

for the help in being able to type when not on this forum - it will help with doing grammar exercises. I am still exploring the forum and finding all sorts of useful information and links.

Adios
