Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our mahjong lessons, private events, and services from Mahj Jen and Mahj Hen
Lesson Questions
How long are the lessons?
Both 101 and 102 lessons typically run 2-3 hours, depending on group size and questions. We ensure everyone has time to play at least one full game.
What's the difference between 101 and 102?
101 covers the basics: tiles, rules, and scoring. 102 builds on that with advanced strategies, Siamese and Patio play, and perfecting your technique.
Can I book a private lesson?
Absolutely! We offer private lessons for individuals or small groups. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and schedule.
