international keyboard

Option A

o    1 Type the acute accent, a diagonal slash angled up and to the right that appears above the letter, by holding down the "CRTL" key while you type the apostrophe key. Let go of those keys, and then type the letter on which you want to place the acute accent.

o    2 Type the grave accent, a diagonal slash that angles above and to the left of the letter, using the "CRTL" and grave keys. On most keyboards, the grave key is to the left of the numeral "1" key near the top of the keyboard. Hold down the "CTRL" key and press the grave accent key. Release those keys, then type the letter you want to place an accent on.

o    3 Type the circumflex accent, which appears above the numeral "6" key, by holding down the "CTRL" and "SHIFT" keys while you press the "6" key. Let go of those keys and strike the letter that you want to take the accent:

o    4 Type the cedilla, the letter "C" with a squiggle beneath it, by holding down the "CTRL" key while you strike the comma key. Release those keys and type a "c." Press "SHIFT" and "C" for an uppercase cedilla.

o    5 Type the dieresis, two dots that appear above a letter, by holding down the "CTRL" and "SHIFT" keys while pressing the colon key. Let go of those keys and type the letter you want to have the dieresis over.

Option B


To type accents with ALT codes, hold down the ALT key, then on the numeric keypad type the three or four digits listed here. When you release the ALT key, the character will appear,(pictures included at the top of the page).

     ALT + 0128

Option C

For US English keyboard users, the international keyboard (which is not a physical keyboard, but rather a simple Control Panel setting) is the easiest and most convenient method for typing French accents because it maintains the QWERTY layout, with just a few changes and additions:

  • To type accent grave (à, è, etc), type ` (to the left of 1) then the vowel.
  • Accent aigu (é), type ' (single quote) then e.
  • Cédille (ç), type ' then c.
  • Circonflexe (ê), type ^ (shift + 6) then e.
  • Tréma (ö), type " (shift + ') then o.
  • To type French quotation marks « » use ctrl + alt + [ and ], respectively.
Note: The minor disadvantage of the international keyboard is that when you want to type the "helping" character (e.g., single or double quotes) by itself rather than above a vowel, you have to type the symbol then hit the space bar. For example, to type c'est, type c then ' then hit the spacebar then type e s t. It takes a little while to get used to typing that extra space when you just want to type ' or "

There is a video link in the LINKS PAGE that does an excellent job explaining and pronouncing the different kinds of French accent marks if you would like to hear them as well.

French accent marks explained with pronounciations French uses several accent marks to guide pronunciation. These are the most commons ones.

1. L’accent aigu: The aigu accent points to the right and upward. Only appearing above the letter e, it changes the letter’s pronunciation to ay—for example,

médecin (may-deh-sehn, meaning doctor),

étouffer, (ay-too-fay, meaning to stifle),

marché (mar-shay, meaning market).

2.  L’accent grave: The grave accent points to the left and upward. It can appear over any vowel, but it only alters pronunciation when over the letter e. While, depending on context, unaccented e‘s may be pronounced several different ways, e‘s with grave accents are always pronounced ehh, like the e in the English word set. Examples:

  • très (treh, meaning very)
  • deuxième (doo-zee-ehm, meaning second, as in second place).
3.  Le circonflexe: The circonflexe looks like a little pointed hat over vowels. It doesn’t change pronunciation, but it must be included in written French.

  • forêt (for-ay, meaning forest)
  • hôtel (owe-tel, meaning hotel)
4.  La cédille: In French, the cedilla is a little tail under the letter c: ç. It’s used to give the c an s sound instead of a hard k sound—for example:

  • garçon (gahr-sohn, meaning boy)
  • français (frahn-say, meaning the French language)
5.  Le tréma: The tréma looks like two dots above a letter. It’s usually placed above the second of two consecutive vowels when both vowels are to be pronounced separately.

  • Jamaïque (jam-eh-eek, meaning Jamaica)
  • coïncidence (ko-ehn-see-dahns, meaning coincidence)
