Repeating in-person study hall. If you use Meetup.com, you can RSVP there. Otherwise, use email, Discord, or telephony. RSVPs are important, as it ensures a room of required size is booked. If you do not RSVP and there is not enough room for everyone, you will be relegated elsewhere if a larger room cannot be secured.

South Bay Japanese Language Study Group Meetup

eMail Discussion List

I am in the process of setting up an email discussion list for discussion about the group and potential and real events. Until it is finished, you can pre-signup and email me any questions you have for the group by using the mailto link under "My Contact Info" or by sending a message directly to my email address with [South Bay Japanese Language Study Group] or [SBJLSG] in the subject heading. If you indicate interest, group announcements will be sent to the email address you provide.

Discord

A private social hub centered around the group. Consider the group's Discord server an ancillary, 24/7 online study hall. Discussion here is more free than during meetups and can be about anything related to the group and its interests. No official anything is done here, so do not use it as your primary medium for keeping in touch.
