What would/could be included in net.nlang.spanish: 1) politics 2) customs 3) language 4) literature 5) history 6) music 7) arts 8) education 9) cuisine 10) travel 11) religion 12) entertainment 13) technology transfer 14) humor 15) attitudes towards sex & sexes Also places where programs for Spanish/Hispanic studies could be aired. The medium would remain English (Ingles) but the occasional use of Spanish (accompanied by English translation) could be useful for those learning or reviewing the language. Since Latin America is a choice destination for vacationers in the Americas and since the Spanish islands in the Med. Sea & N. Atlantic are choice destinations for Europeans, I expect much interest from the offset in the travel area. For those of us who must feed ourselves, Spanish recepies would also be aprreciated. If you would like to help in the creation of this newsgroup, please followup this article on net.news.group or send e-mail to me: Sunil Trivedi P.O.
