Riichi mahjong can feel difficult when tile recognition, hand building and scoring are introduced together. A more manageable first lesson is to separate them.

Start by distinguishing the three numbered suits from the honor tiles. Then practise recognizing sequences, triplets and a pair. The common winning structure is four groups and a pair, although special hands have different structures. Completing that shape is not enough on its own: a legal winning hand also needs a yaku.

For a first practice session, focus on what changes after drawing and discarding. Before each discard, ask which tiles still help the hand and which groups are already useful. Leave detailed point calculation for a later lesson, and check the rules of the version being played rather than assuming every mahjong game uses identical rules.

When introducing riichi to a new player, would you explain yaku before the first sample hand, or demonstrate one simple winning hand first?
