It’s Time to Join the Craze

If you know what this mat is you probably already know how to play Mah Jongg. If you don’t it might be time to learn. If you know how to play, or think you know how to play, or play, but are worried you aren’t doing it to the best of your ability, it might be time to take a more advanced lesson.

I have been teaching mah Jongg for over 27 years. Over than time I have taught over 30,000 people to play this most fun game. The way I teach Mah Jongg today is wildly different than the way I started teaching it. I am a student of the way people learn. That is what keeps me interested in teaching the same game over the years.

Because I learn from each person I teach I have come to understand what is most important to learn first and then second and so on in order to help people learn to master the game.

I hear often of people who fall in love with the game and after six months of playing it decide they are going to be a mah Jongg teacher. Of course this happens because they want to share their passion for this game with their friends so they have more people to play with. My only issue is with someone who tells people they can teach them to play mah Jongg in two or three hours.

If you just learned to play you only know enough to spend two-three hours teaching. What a novice teacher does not know is how to build a foundation and teach strategy in a way that is understandable and consumable by a mah Jongg virgin. Any teacher who picks the tiles you should pass, rather than explains how to figure out which tiles to pass is just playing the game for you, rather than teaching you how to play.

There are lots of Mah Jongg advice givers on the internet. It is amazing how much of that advice is poor or without explanation. I don’t make videos and give advice on the internet because that is not fun for me. Fun for me is being with people in real life, looking you in the eye and seeing how you learn so I can convey the information to you in a way that works the way your brain works.

Mah Jongg is a complicated enough game that you need a foundation and strategy to really enjoy playing. If you want 2026 to be the year to learn or improve your Mah Jongg I would love to have you in one of my classes. To find a scheduled class visit www.learnmahjongg.com.

There is a reason Mah Jongg is so hot. It’s just very fun. Come join me and see why.
