Type Accents
Writing in Spanish
It’s just as important to include accents when writing in Spanish as it is to spell words correctly. It drives me kind of crazy when people say, sorry, I can’t type accents on my computer / tablet / smartphone.
Yes, you can type accents – yes! even on your old computer.
No, you don’t have to buy a Spanish keyboard, or install any software.
Virtually every system has at least one built-in method for typing accents – you just need to follow these links to find out what it is and how to activate it.
Do you type accents?

Titles are important in Spanish, and they are used somewhat differently than their English counterparts.
Spanish titles are not capitalized, except at the beginning of a sentence or when abbreviated.
When they precede a name, Spanish titles must sometimes be preceded by the definite article.
There are masculine and feminine versions of most titles.
Many Spanish nouns and adjectives have shortened forms called apocopes, which are created by dropping one or more syllables at the end of the word.

Write Something Meaningful
Make a to do list, keep a journal, compose a poem, draft a short story … just write something – anything – that gives you a reason to practice using verbs.
Make Flashcards
Find some index cards or cut paper into squares – write a subject pronoun and verb in the infinitive (e.g., ellos – ir) on one side, and the conjugation on the other (van). Now you can test yourself by looking at either side and trying to remember what the other side says. Flashcards are a nice, portable option when you can’t or don’t want to use your phone. If that’s not an issue, you can create online flashcards.

Tips for your pronountation:
1. Blog de Lengua - Videos for individual sounds and letters
2. All about "N" including how it changes depending on what letter it's next to
Tilde: ñ
Spanish double letter
The ~ accent, called a tilde, on the Spanish letter Ñ indicates that the word used to be spelled with two Ns but now the tilde stands in for the second one. Ñ is pronounced like the ni in onion.
It’s very important to include the tilde when writing or typing, because N and Ñ are two different letters. There are words that mean different things depending on whether the word is spelled and pronounced with N or Ñ. Also, Ñ has its own section of the dictionary which comes after the entire N section.
Try to pronounce some words with this letter and send it 🤗

Spanish titles and definite articles
When speaking about a titled person in Spanish, you need to precede the title with the definite article.
Por ejemplo…
El señor Cruz no está aquí. Mr. Cruz is not here.
¿Dónde vive la profesora Manuela? Where does Professor Manuela live?
However, when you are speaking to the person, you do not use the definite article:
Señor Cruz, ¿cómo está Ud.? Mr. Cruz, how are you?
