II. senseiOnline and other mailing list of interest
Most Japanese teachers use e-mail as a communication tool. Listserv serves a group of people with similar interest. If you become a member, you will be reading series of e-mail messages posted by other members. When you post a message, it will go to a central computer from where your message is distributed automatically to all members. There are quite a few listservs that might be interest to participants of this Benkyoukai.
