Oh and you meant to say, "Creo que no funciona en los Macs. Por ejemplo, el ¡ es alt+1." :hug:

Oh... I thought it would be the plural "funcionan" (which is a verb I half guessed at) because there were a lot of codes that don't work instead of one. Also, I forgot how ejemplo was spelled... I was trying to put an x in it and like "this isn't right" so I tried to avoid it. :P

I took Spanish for three semesters in high school (which ended about seven years ago, three semesters is all that was offered), it was enough to get some of the sentence forming gist (especially since I'd taken French before so while the verbs are obviously different, it's easier to see the patterns in conjugating them when there's some basis other than English), but definitely not enough to get a decent vocabulary built up. Well, plus we didn't get into very complicated sentences so it's hard to say something where I don't feel like I'm going like "Ug want fruit". :S

I know a little bit of German and Spanish, I got the accents down good and I can read and understand both if they speak slower but I really struggle at forming coherant sentences in either written or spoken speech.

Even worst, I sometimes mix up the grammer or words and put them together when I talk in one or the other launguage. Stuff like "Hallo , Wo finde el baño in den Bahnhof?" and "Ich habe werden, uno cerveza por favor".
