English is a Germanic language, while languages such as Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, and Romanian are called 'Romance' languages (as those derived from Vulgar Latin spoken in the vast Roman Empire). However, English borrows heavily from them and as a result, you will find many accented phrases that make up its vocabulary, such as café, naïve, cortège, déjà vu, etc., forcing you to type them out in your professional writing.

But how do you type accents on Windows? Lacking basic knowledge, most of us copy and paste accents and symbols when needed. But if you need to use them often, such as when learning to type in another language or using the correct accents and diacritics in your documentation, there is no solution to knowing how to type accents.

To help you learn and make it easier in the long run, here are all the ways you can start typing with accents on Windows and improve your spelling skills.
