Typing in a second language is mostly a matter of finding the extra characters: ñ, five accents and the inverted question mark in Spanish, ä, ö, ü and ß in German, accents, ç and œ in French, six accented vowels in Italian, twelve marked letters in Portuguese, ë, ï, é and ij in Dutch, and a second alphabet in Russian. Each page gives common words and short sentences and accepts an accented or Cyrillic character only when typed, so a plain n for ñ is a miss.

More about these tools

Russian needs the Russian layout switched on; the others can be typed from an English layout, and each page lists the keys. Every word was checked against a dictionary, the sentences come from Tatoeba, and each page names its sources.
