The OC Japanese Meetup is a way for those who are interested in learning about Japan, the history, culture and language (of all levels) to meet. We have fun outings and events where members can exchange information, share interests, and establish friendships.

We are not a singles or dating site!

If you'd like to join us please include a picture of yourself in your profile. It does not have to be your main picture if you prefer, but it must be viewable to us through your group profile. We ask this of our members because many of the events are held in private homes and it would be helpful to know who to expect.

Also, please answer all the profile questions below in English or romaji to be approved. It's not a test and any genuine answers are acceptable--we just want to share information and get to know our new members. 

No one is exempt.

*What's your interest in Japan(ese)?

*What do you hope to get out of The OC Japanese Meetup?

*What level of Japanese do you speak? Can you read & write also?

*I have read the Rules for Membership listed on the About page and agree to abide by them. ("Yes" is the only valid answer.)

Any blank answers will prevent you from joining this group. Only romaji or English please. Meetup.com does not accept non-Roman text.
