Hi! We're Jami and Elva, and welcome to our very first episode of Let's Play Mahjong with Jami & Elva! We're sisters, business partners, and mahjong teachers with over 30 years at the table together.
In this episode:
More classroom confessions (fair warning: it's another bodily function story — and this one made Jami cry), teacher tips on exactly how many lessons a new student actually needs before it "clicks," and a spotlight on the amazing Sara Huisking, aka "The Tile Teacher".
