There's a video how-to guide on youtube, even if it might be a bit long:

Of course, I'll also point you to the World Riichi Championship rules:

My mahjong article for the Yakuza video-games wiki is an abridged guide for beginners (no scoring calculations).

My full PDF guide to the rules and terminology is available here:

The European Mahjong Association (EMA) also has a comprehensive rulebook:
