Communicating on social networks

Social networks can help me to communicate with my friends and family

There are several social networks
such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Linkedin.

To get onto social networks I have to set up an account

I click on Créer un compte
I fill in the information requested

 

 

I can then connexion

To add friends

I click on the little person next to the name
to make my friend request

The person will have to accept my request
to be my friend on Facebook
