Typing in Spanish

I have my keyboard set to US English. I regularly type in Spanish. For many months now, the computer autocorrects my English words to Spanish words.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13

In system settings > keyboard > text > spelling, make sure it is set to Spanish (and not "automatic")

bilingual keyboard i use English and Spanish in equal amounts and constantly switch back and forth using the language switcher icon, but mostly i only use 2 specific symbols from Spanish (ñ and ¿) as most messages dont require 100% correct grammar with Spanish accents etc. Is there a way for me to avoid switching back and forth so much, staying in English, and using character codes or ASCII or a short cut of some kind to bring up these 2 characters from an English keyboard?

I'm using only English dictionaries but predictive keeps giving me Spanish suggestions I have two keyboards, English and Emoji. The only two dictionaries checked off are American English. Why do I keep getting predictive words in Spanish even when there’s an obvious English word?

Magic Keyboard physical keys show different characters depending on the language i am using. SETTINGS HELP Hello. My question is related to the latest Magic Keyboards for Mac. I have the small version which I use as my main keyboard to interact with my iPad Pro and my mac book pro. I have the spanish version of the physical keyboard. I write in three languages and when I change to English for example, the physical key that in spanish belong to an specific character, once changed to English in the iPad, would give me a different character which makes my typing slower and harder. Is there a way I can change the English keyboard key to what in fact my physical keyboard shows ? Not sure if i explained myself properly, i try to explain in spanish if it helps : Mi teclado físico español, cuando escribo en ingles, las teclas fisicas no se corresponden con lo que se muestra en pantalla. Puedo modificar los ajustes de respuesta del Magic Keyboard en las distintas lenguas que uso a diario para que todos los caracteres se correspondan con las teclas que pulso independientemente del idioma en que escriba? Gracias

In System Preferences>Language & Region, drag the preferred Language to the top.
