Well, I think I would've enjoyed that class !
Just as long as nobody uses an apostrophe to replace an accent over a vowel (for example, café often seems to become cafe'). I hate that... it's not hard to produce the accents, either on a PC or a phone .
For PC Keyboards, assuming a standard US layout, they are not even supported, outside of obscure ALT codes, which may or may not work, and are not taught in typing classes. Then again 99% of the time, the accent (and/or other letter modifiers) is dropped.
