ñ sounds similar to n but it's a different letter. if you look at a spanish dictionary you'll see first all the words that begin with n and then the ones that begin with ñ
in spanish, the accents (áéíóú) doesn't change the sound of those vowels, but they change the stress of the word (where you pronounce it louder). They're the same letters (a=á, e=é...) and in dontionaries you see them all togheter. about the dieresis, it's the same as accents.
