For teachers of American mahjong
Free practice for your students between lessons, and two sheets that you may copy. No student account, no login, no ads.
What exists now
| For this part of a course | Give your students this link |
|---|---|
| The tiles | americanmahjongcoach.com/#/tiles: tiles as on a real set, in three levels |
| The sections of the card | americanmahjongcoach.com/#/family: one hand as tiles, name its section |
| A hand after the deal | americanmahjongcoach.com/#/deal: 13 tiles, find the nearest hand, see the reason |
| The Charleston | americanmahjongcoach.com/#/charleston: choose the first pass, see the advice |
| A habit between lessons | americanmahjongcoach.com/#/daily: one rack each day, the same for the whole class |
- The drills work on a tablet, a phone and a computer. Each page has a text-size control and a high-contrast mode.
- Each answer gives the reason in one or two sentences.
- The daily rack is the same for every player on one day. A class can compare results in the next lesson.
Handouts that you may copy
- Beginner table sheet: tiles, dragons, groups, jokers, a turn, a call, X and C.
- Charleston sheet: the passes in order, the blind pass, the courtesy pass, advice.
You may print and copy both sheets for your classes, with the line at the bottom of the page. The sheets show no hand of the League's card.
Pages for students who ask "why"
The guides answer one question for each page: the rules, the jokers, the flowers, the tile count, the card, scoring and the words of the game.
How the material is made
- The rule text comes from published sources on the League rules. The About page lists them.
- Drills 2, 3 and 4 use the hands of the 2026 card, one hand at a time. A student can also choose an own practice card with 20 hands.
- If you find an error, tell me. You teach the game, and I want your corrections.
What does not exist yet
I plan a kit for teachers: a first-lesson outline, student handouts, and class links that open the drills for one lesson. The kit does not exist. I give no date and no price. First I want to know what teachers need.
