Want to learn / play Mahjong?
Mahjong is a timeless tile-based game that has been played across Asia for over 300 years and is now gaining global popularity. Unlike poker, where you recognise the cards instantly, Mahjong requires learning the tiles and rules before you can play—and that’s where many beginners struggle.
We’ve often heard how friends and family don’t always have the patience to teach every detail, and after hours of trying, beginners still feel confused about the game.
That’s why Dear Asia Mahjong Workshops are here to help!
Why Learn With Us?
✔ We’re Professional Teachers – We understand how people learn best and have designed two step-by-step workshops that makes Mahjong easy and engaging.
✔ Mahjong is More Than a Game – It’s a vital part of Asian social culture, and Dear Asia London, as a language and culture school, is passionate about sharing these traditions with you.
From Zero to Hero
We’ve broken down Mahjong learning into two structured steps, each covered in a 2-hour workshop:
Newbie Level 1 – Start playing right away! In this session, we’ll introduce you to the tiles, sets, and winning hands while guiding you through the basic rules and game rhythm. By the end of the session, you’ll feel confident and ready to play Mahjong with others. We keep it simple, focusing on the fundamentals and avoiding scoring rules and special hands.
Not-So-Beginner Level 2 – Ready to take your skills to the next level? This workshop dives deeper into Mahjong rules, sharpens your strategy, and helps you master scoring and bonus points, making you a more competitive player.
Just Play – Want to play more games and enjoy the experience? Book a seat at the Just Play Table, where you can enjoy the game with others in a fun, relaxed atmosphere without instruction, you could be either Level 1 or Level 2 graduates to book this table.
🀄 Newbie Level 1 – Learn the fundamentals & start playing

A Social Game in a Social Space
Mahjong isn’t just about strategy—it’s about bringing people together. Our workshop offers a fun, welcoming space where you can meet new people, have a great time and maybe even organise future game nights together! We love seeing friendships blossom over Mahjong.
