During some games with mj beginners, I found that it was difficult to teach them at the mj table in the midst of a proper game as lengthy explanations will hold up the games for others. Also, I noticed beginners&#8217; hesitation at throwing cards causes each round of game to be longer which may lead other players to lose interest.<\/p>\n<p>I am a keen supporter of mahjong and hope that this game can be popularized and be enjoyed by all. I think mj practical lessons under no pressure will be more suited for the beginners. For the this purpose, I volunteer to conduct basic and systematic lessons to explain and enhance one&#8217;s knowledge of the mahjong game structure and teach the fundamentals &#8211; rules, ways of &quot;eating&quot; and throwing cards, how to call and calculate &quot;doubles&quot; etc.<\/p>\n<p>We can start as soon as there are at least 4 interested players and someone who can provide the venue. So far there is already 1 interested player, please get in touch if you are also keen on taking practical mj lessons.<\/p>\n<p>A brief introduction about myself, I am a retired mathematical school teacher and was a member of the Teachers Military Band. I conducted our school military band and also taught snooker to students in school. In my personal time, I had previously taken up chinese drama acting and choir performance. Looking forward to expanding the mahjong circle.<\/p>\n<p>Those who are interested can just leave a contact method along this thread. <\/p>\n<p>Freddie Liew <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, I have had enjoyable games with our friends from SHC.
