Answer 1

In Spanish, ñ is a letter in itself, and it is pronounced EN-ye.

If you want to say it in English, say 'N with tilde (TIL-day).'

For all the accented vowels you can say " --- con acento" or "accented --- ."

And finally, ü is said "u con diéresis" or "u with dieresis." (I'm not so certain about this one, but it's what I would say in a pinch! )

See you around!
