How do I disable special character suggestions while typing?

While I'm typing I get this annoying pop up where my mac asks me if I want to insert a special character. It happens whenever I go to type something, regardless of the application.



How do I turn this annoying pop up off?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

It should only happen if you hold down the key for about 3 to 5 seconds. Is it happening immediately when you tap the key.
