A note for all French learners (including me): how to type the French accents First step, go to "start" -> "control panel" -> "regional and language options" -> "languages" -> "details" -> "add" -> choose French -> "ok" (The following keystrokes are those on an English keyboard.) é = / É = ? àèìòù = ' + aeiou ÀÈÌÒÙ = ' + shift + aeiou âêîôû = [ + aeiou ÂÊÎÔÛ = [ + shift + aeiou ç = ] + c Ç = ] + shift + c äëïöü = } + aeiou ÄËÏÖÜ = } + shift + aeiou Other punctuations that are different (the ones not listed here are the same on both English and French keyboards): French keyboard = English keyboard # ` | ~ " @ / # ? ^ < \ > | ' <
