For most people learning to play bridge is easiest face-to-face at a club. You get the benefit of experienced teachers and the social interaction. Find a club near you.
Where in-person lessons are not possible, you can practice bidding and declarer play on our Self-guided practice page.
Our learning suggestions focus on the American style of 5 card major bidding, the most common style used in Australia. (For those wishing to learn Acol style, we suggest No Fear Bridge, Scottish Bridge Union, NZ Bridge or Oasis.)
