Keyboards are language specific, I don't think there is as "European" keyboard, but there are English, French, German keyboards etc. So a European keyboard for English should be the same as a US-English keyboard, and a Spanish one also the same as a US-Spanish one.
I use (and have used) both English and German keyboards and don't find the switch particularly difficult. Though it is harder to write German on an English keyboard than vice versa, as a German keyboard includes all English letters, but an English keyboard is not mapped to all German letters.

Oh, okay. I was in Paris so it was a French keyboard. I thought I was either exhibiting the effects of a minor stroke or had consumed too much wine the night before. Whatever the case, the entire experience made me feel positively chimp-like, hunting and stabbing at keys, with tongue hanging to the side of my mouth.
Great vacation, though.

Yes, I can see why... you have to switch around a few letters/signs. Interestingly, if you touch type and just know your way around the keyboard anyway, you could always switch the keyboard language on your Mac/PC, as (apart from some exceptions) most keyboards have the exact same keys, they are just differently mapped. So if you switch from a French keyboard layout to an English one, you get the same result again... provided, you don't look at the keyboard and get confused.

Or the greater the incompetence.
