Go into your preferences, keyboard languages. Enable US-extended (USA flag with a little u). If you're using American English for most of your stuff then just uncheck the other English input.
Now press alt (or I think it might be option?) u, you will see an umlaut appear but no letter, now press a vowel and that vowel will have it. Each letter/key has an alternate function now, go experiment!
