Thanks for the Birthday wish. I can only hope that the letter at the Post Office is what you are hoping for.

My Spanish isn't good, in fact it's BAD. It's just the same as my French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese and Japanese, just enough to get an Hotel, get Food and Beer/Wine, get a Rail/Bus ticket and ask directions. What did Nicole wish you - "Feliz Cumpleanyos ". I know that "Feliz" is "happy", but what does "Cumpleanyos" mean?

Hope that you can help!!!!

Thanks "Ilovemadrid".

You have actually answered my question (see above post) without realising it. Nicole didn't have "ñ" in "cumpleanos". I still didn't know the word and my online translator didn't know it either until the "ñ" was inserted.

Thanks for the help.

Yet another day has passed where I have learnt something new.

"it's a good day if you have learnt something new"

um.how do you insert the enye sound? I always put the "y" in to differentiate the word "year" from.. well you know (ano..).

Nicole, there is a way for you to put accents on all the vowels...for the ñ, push "alt" then 1 6 4 , then release the "alt".
Also try:
á = alt 1 6 0
é = alt 1 3 0
í = alt 1 6 1
ó = alt 1 6 2
ú = alt 1 6 3
¿ = alt 1 6 8

remember to keep the 'alt' button key down when you press the number keys, then release.... hope this helps...

Thanks laduque!! You are awesome!

for you Mac users out there, it's the option key (also says alt) and at the same time, press n, then release, then press n again. ñ see, it works!
