Help in your own language
From Usenet Big-8 Management Board
The helpers in news.newusers.questions know a lot of answers, but we don't always speak the same languages as the people we're trying to help! In many cases, the best help for technical problems will come from a newsgroup which speaks your own language.
These newsgroups are good starting points for new users who are not very familiar with English:
- ch.comp
- Computer related topics (for Swiss readers)
- chile.comp.internet
- Discusion general sobre Internet en Chile
- chinese.newsgroups.newusers
- Postings by new users (Chinese)
- de.newusers.questions
- Hilfe zum Usenet (moderated)
- es.news.preguntas
- Preguntas generales sobre las news (Spanish)
- fr.bienvenue.questions
- Les premières questions sur Usenet (French)
- han.news.users
- Usenet users, new user question/discussion (Korean)
- it.news.aiuto
- Domande e risposte sul servizio news (Italian)
- nl.internet.welkom
- Startpunt voor beginners op internet (Dutch/Netherlands; moderated)

- pt.internet.usenet
- Discussao sobre as Usenet news em Portugal (Portugese)
- swnet.internet.news
- Tekniska och administrativa frågor kring news (Swedish)

In addition to the above, the users in one of the related soc.culture.* newsgroups might be able to point you to other newusers groups which are available in your language.
