I'm not on Snow Leopard yet, but here's what I found. I don't think it matters as to the version of OS X. Opt + e, then the letter puts the ´ over the letter ( á,é, etc). Opt + Shift + ? = ¿. Opt + n, then n = ñ. Hope this helps!

Sorry, I forgot one. Opt + 1 =¡

I use Snow Leopard on my Mac. Go to the top bar, and you should see the USA Flag icon. Click that and go to "Open Language and Text". Then click "Input Sources". Make sure the box is checked for "Keyboard and Character Viewer". Then check the box for the Spanish flag icon. Now close that window and go back to the top bar and click the USA flag and now you should have a choice between Spanish and English. Click Spanish and your keyboard is in Spanish. To get a visual of the Spanish keyboard, click the Spanish flag and hit "Show Keyboard Viewer" That's it. You will be glad that you practice on a Spanish keyboard, this way if you are ever in another country trying to send an email with only so many Euros/minutes.

Are you having trouble with this in the desktop software or the online Flashcards?

I also run 10.6.8 and here's what I use: for the ´, it's (option) + e, then the letter, and for the ˜, it's (option) + n together, then the letter desired, for the ¨, (option) + u, then the letter, for the `, (option) + `, then the letter, and for the ç, it's (option) + c. There may be other shorter cuts if you change the language on your keyboard or program, but these work for me.

Ok changing the "input sources" in the "language and text" did help. You have to learn though the different combinations of keys that you need to input the appropriate letter. Any Highlighted symbol you simply type the letter you want and the symbol will be associated with it. For example if you type [ + e then you will get é. but only if your keyboard language is set to spanish. So changing your settings fixes it you just have to figure out the combinations.
