On an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, etc.
1) Hold down the letter or punctuation mark you want to add an accent to. A row of accented versions of the letter will pop up. 2) Slide your finder over to the accented letter of choice and let go. Voila!
On a side note, you can also add a Spanish keyboard so that it will auto-correct in Spanish and not draw the red squiggly lines under all your words.
To switch keyboards after you have added the new one, just click on the globe icon.
