Working outcomeA rotating learning system with a named rules authority.
Use one curriculum
Choose a teacher or structured beginner path for the named tradition. Ten conflicting videos do not create collective wisdom.
Rotate support jobs
One person can handle setup, another track vocabulary, another find the governing rule, and another watch pace.
- Questions are table contributions.
- Correction should name the rule, not rank the player.
- Do not appoint the fastest learner as unpaid instructor forever.
Plan the transition
After a few sessions, decide whether the group wants teaching games, ordinary games with support, or outside instruction.
Keep the boundary visible
Generic beginner instruction belongs to NewToMahjong; women’s history belongs to WomenOfMahjong; formal etiquette belongs to LadiesOfMahjong.
