Titles are important in Spanish, and they are used somewhat differently than their English counterparts.
Spanish titles are not capitalized, except at the beginning of a sentence or when abbreviated.
When they precede a name, Spanish titles must sometimes be preceded by the definite article.
There are masculine and feminine versions of most titles.

Spanish titles and definite articles
When speaking about a titled person in Spanish, you need to precede the title with the definite article.
Por ejemplo…
El señor Cruz no está aquí. Mr. Cruz is not here.
¿Dónde vive la profesora Manuela? Where does Professor Manuela live?
However, when you are speaking to the person, you do not use the definite article:
Señor Cruz, ¿cómo está Ud.? Mr. Cruz, how are you?
Por favor, Profesor Manuel, espere un momento. Professor Manuel, please wait a moment.

Tilde: ñ
Spanish double letter
The ~ accent, called a tilde, on the Spanish letter Ñ indicates that the word used to be spelled with two Ns but now the tilde stands in for the second one. Ñ is pronounced like the ni in onion.
It’s very important to include the tilde when writing or typing, because N and Ñ are two different letters. There are words that mean different things depending on whether the word is spelled and pronounced with N or Ñ. Also, Ñ has its own section of the dictionary which comes after the entire N section.

Type Accents
Writing in Spanish
It’s just as important to include accents when writing in Spanish as it is to spell words correctly. It drives me kind of crazy when people say, sorry, I can’t type accents on my computer / tablet / smartphone.

No, you don’t have to buy a Spanish keyboard, or install any software.
