I have done section 3.2 of the tutorials and the word pinguino needs to be written in the recall section but I don't have the option to type the letter U with 2 dots - help!

En Español...

"La dierisis" can also be made by using the shift key together with the tilde key just before typing the U when Spanish is selected from the control panel.

Answer 6

Para mi es facile , tengo un teclado hungaro, y en nuestra lengua, tenemos la letra ü, por tanto puedo escribir el pingüino cómodamente.

Answer 7

Lots of options. On Windows machines you can

• Enable an alternate keyboard such as US-International, which offers shortcuts that make it easy to enter characters like this
• Hold down the ALT key while typing the numbers 0252

You can also copy and paste this character from another source (web page, Word doc)

thanks - lots of options - Gatosuerte, Jun 19, 2011

Un diéresis es absolutamente necesario para la pronunciación correcta de esta palabra. "pingüino" - SrCientífico, Jun 19, 2011

Answer 9

I appreciate all the useful strategies suggested by fellow Spanish learners on this topic. However, I would still suggest that Spanishdict.com update that section (Recall) by adding the u with two dots (They actually have that in the "Write" Section). This will make it less frustrating for the learners who take this lesson in the future. Thanks!
