Please be aware that Mahj 101 is a prerequisite to this class, so if you haven't taken that class yet please start there first. In our Mahj 102 session, you’ll learn how to navigate the National Mah Johngg League card and the Charleston, with plenty of opportunities to ask specific questions about strategy.
We also offer in-home classes for groups of friends who want to learn how to play together as well as couples classes and classes geared to parents and children. Email Melanie for pricing details for these alternatives.
