You're not alone.
Maybe all your friends know how to play already
Maybe they're aren't any classes near you or you don't have time to go to a class

Whatever the case may be, you're in the right place.

I was worried I'd never learn because everyone says mahjong is so complicated. MC explained everything in a way that actually made sense to me. After I finished the course, I was confident on how to play
Debbie R.
This course is worth it just for the fact that you can replay everything. Every time I have a game coming up, I go back and review the lessons I need. I believe it's helped me learn mahjong a lot quicker than most.
Denise D.
I was unsure about the "online" aspect of this course for someone who is not very tech savvy, but it actually was easy to access and I had no problems. Very straightforward and helpful
Carol B.
I don't have anyone around me to teach me, so finding this course awesome. Thank you for putting it together MC!
Kathy W.
I wish I had this course before I spent money on an in-person class. Being able to go back and watch the lessons again has helped me so much.
Rachel D.
Just finished the course! I feel SO much more confident than I did after my in person class a few weeks ago. Can't wait for my next game. Thanks so much MC
Susan F.
For anyone who's on the fence... just do it. I kept saying I'd learn "one day," and now I'm hooked and wish I had learned sooner.

Hi MC! I just got home from my first game after finishing the course and I had to message you. 😂 I actually knew what everyone was talking about! I wasn't constantly asking, "Wait... what do I do?" Thank you so much for all your help.
Sarah B.
You have such a calm, thorough, and fun way of teaching. I never felt like I couldn't follow any of your logic because you explain everything so well and from the ground up.
Barbara C.
I don't usually send messages like this, but I just wanted to thank you. You can tell how much thought you put into these lessons. Great job, I will recommend Mahjong 101 to all my friends!

I almost didn't buy because I wasn't sure I could really learn from an online course. But after my first game this weekend, I can honestly say it was the best decision. I never felt like I was slowing the table down, and when I got home I even went back and rewatched a couple of lessons to clear up the few things I wasn't sure about. I love having that option.
