Watched that first part, right? Open the wikipedia yaku page or http://www.japanesemahjong.com/reachmahjong/hand_values/han_value_frameset.htm and then go full Akagi, ie start learning by playing with bots trying to get a certain hand you choose (use http://arcturus.su/tenhou/index.html for Tenhou explanations in English).

I recommend starting with trying for tanyao/tan'yao, 7 Pairs or Straight, simple stuff like that. Play with bots until you start to feel like you're getting the hang of it a little. Then read more in-depth into those yaku pages and master a couple more of them to try getting during games. Also read on the concept of getting hans, so that you start understanding a bit on how to minimize point losses, and even more importantly furiten, so that you don't get your shit slapped back to you. Also read up "UmaiKeiki's defense guide" on Osamuko to get basic theory about how to not deal into riichis. Then drop the bots, register your Tenhou ID and start playing with real people on Lobby 7447 or 0000.

After that it'll be up to you. Read on more in-depth theories, build on your foundations, learn more yakus, work on your defense, watch the other 3 parts of that tutorial video, etc. But above all play a lot.
And keep cool. Don't ragequit even if you get fucked up. You can also have your windows screen grabber ready during play and grab screenshots of winning hands and study them, it's a good way to learn the hands.
