1. In order to make the course easier, you will need to make a few setup arrangements before you begin. Since typing in Spanish requires the use of accent marks, additional punctuation, and a few different letters, it is a good idea to set up the Spanish International Sort or Spain keyboard on your computer right away.
2. Enable Google Chrome browser. In order to earn points and practice Spanish pronunciation, you will also need to enable Chrome. The pronunciation exercises are graded at about 80% accuracy for overall words, but Chrome is necessary for proper functionality of this important feature of the program.
