Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum.
"se habla español" is the passive constructiion saying "Spanish is spoken."
hablamos español is in the active voice and means we speak, we do speak, we are speaking.
They are not exactly the same thing.
In order to let you know how to make accent marks on the computer I need to know 2 things:
1. do you have a PC or a MAC
2. do you have Windows or not

Yes, "se habla español" and "hablamos español" have similar meanings but they are used in slightly different contexts.
"Se habla español" is a phrase commonly seen on signs or advertisements. It translates to "Spanish spoken," indicating that Spanish is spoken at a particular business or location. It is a way of saying that there is someone present who is able to communicate in Spanish.
On the other hand, "hablamos español" translates to "we speak Spanish" and is used to express the ability or action of speaking Spanish. This phrase is more commonly used in conversations or when someone wants to convey that they personally speak Spanish.
Regarding placing appropriate accents, there are several ways to achieve this on the internet. Here are a few methods you can try:
1. Typing the accented characters directly: Most keyboards allow you to type accented characters by holding down certain keys or using special key combinations. For example, on a Windows computer, you can hold down the "Alt" key while entering a specific numeric code using the number pad. For example, holding Alt and typing "160" will produce the á character. On a Mac, you can press and hold a key to see different accent options, then select the appropriate character.
2. Using keyboard shortcuts: Some word processors or text editors have built-in shortcuts for commonly used accented characters. For example, in Microsoft Word, you can type a specific combination of keys, such as Ctrl + ' and then the letter "e", to create an é.
3. Using character codes: In HTML or other programming languages, you can use special character codes to display accented characters. For example, á represents the á character.
4. Copying and pasting: If you find the accented characters elsewhere on the internet, you can simply copy and paste them into your text.
It's important to note that when typing in plain text (such as in emails or forum posts), accented characters may not always be necessary. Many people will still understand the meaning even without the accents. However, in professional or formal contexts, it's considered more appropriate to include the correct accents.
