9.3.1 - sci.lang.japan
This group discusses "All aspects of the Japanese language". It is basically a
learning community where members share their knowledge, ask and answer questions about the language and learning Japanese.
The majority of the posters tend to be English speakers and live outside Japan, though there are plenty of exceptions.
You need to have a reasonably high level of English or Japanese to participate actively (Japanese is
not essential though a newsreader that can read Japanese script is).
One problem is that when asking grammar and usage questions, you may notice that there can be as many different answers as
there are posters - often with conflicting advice (and variable quality). There is plenty of good advice (especially regarding use of IT), though for questions concerning grammar or usage, it is often more reliable and efficient to post on the OCJS bulletin boards and get your answers from professional faculty.
The original is no longer online, but the Alt-FAQ is still available from the Monash University mirror site (courtesy Jim Breen). Yamasa's
