I need to do some Spanish typing and want to learn how to insert tilde, accents and the upside-down question marks and exclamation points.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1
One easy way is to just press and hold the keys and choose what you need from the popup menu that appears

Two options I know.
1) You can use modifier keys to change some characters. E.g., option+u and then A to get Ä
I use Keyboardviewer (kind of hidden on a Mac so do a Spotlight search) to see the common ones.
2) You can select different keyboard layouts in System Preferences. Of course your physical keyboard will have the same labels so you either need to memorize them or you need to buy a Spanish keyboard, or get labels that you can stick on an English keyboard. For the former, go to Apple's online store and pretend you are buying something and you will see what keyboards you can choose. For the latter, here, for example, is one I found for somebody asking about this for Japanese:

Looking to learn how to include tilde and accents on my MacBook Air. Will be typing in Spanish.
