Typing French Accents - Mac: French OS

You can type French accents and immerse yourself in French at the same time on a Mac OSX by setting your system language to French so that your OS as well as most Apple software use French:
  1. Go to System Preferences
  2. Choose International
  3. Change the system operating language to French

Please note that I don't use a Mac and that these instructions were provided to me by Mac users. If there are mistakes, please let me know.
