You simply need to know where to go. There are many routes to take but for the purposes of this trip we will explore Usenet, and Mailing lists and Gopher. These are the easiest, most user-friendly Internet routes to follow. I'll show you how to get there, what you can expect to find and, finally, how you might put it to use. You can both read and post messages, commentaries or questions.
Different systems use different software to access the groups.
Each newsgroup could have hundreds of new items posted by individuals each day. Newsgroups can be used to access information, post questions or commentaries about French politics, history, economics, travel, language or culture. They can also be used to ask for translations, for keypal or penpals and to organize exchanges. They therefore provide an infinite number of possibilities for use by students and teachers. There are also postings related to language issues and people looking for correspondents and a Reveu de Presse de l'Actualite Quebecoise from L'Acadie Nouvelle.
