Why the layout matters
The Latin American and Spain layouts are almost the same, but a handful of keys differ. On a Spain layout the @ sign and a couple of symbols next to Enter sit in other places. Our Spanish lessons and the on-screen keyboard follow the Latin American layout, so matching your device to it keeps every key where you expect it.
Windows
Open Settings, then Time and language, then Language and region. Under Spanish, open the language options and add the Latin American keyboard. Switch between installed layouts at any time with Windows + Space.
macOS
Open System Settings, then Keyboard, then Input Sources. Choose the add button, pick Spanish, and select Spanish — Latin American. Switch from the input menu in the menu bar, or with Control + Space.
Chromebook
Open Settings, then Advanced, then Languages and inputs, then Inputs. Add Spanish (Latin America) and switch with Ctrl + Shift + Space.
Prefer not to change it?
You can still type on your current layout — the on-screen keyboard always shows the Latin American layout and highlights the next key, so you can follow along. See what the on-screen keyboard is for. If keys stop highlighting, read how to fix the keyboard not highlighting.
