At the absolute ''minimum'', being fluent at one or the other is critical. If you don't know or aren't fluent in Japanese, try to look for foreigner- friendly venues.

**There are significant differences between online and physical mahjong. In physical mahjong, players are expected to take turns quickly; since tiles must be physically picked up and discarded, this will feel faster than online play. There are no automatic prompts to call chii/pon/riichi, and winning tiles must be recognized manually. Also, unless the place is particularly friendly to new players, players should know how to score hands quickly. Players who are unable to take turns ''quickly'' (online client's 5s/turn, including the time spent drawing/discarding, is just barely acceptable) might not be allowed to play at a jansou. | **There are significant differences between online and physical mahjong.
