Help in your own language

From Usenet Big-8 Management Board

The helpers in news.newusers.questions news.newusers.questions on Google Groups 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:
