Refer to this list of hands. A lot of them aren't really ever going to come up. But what you need to know is what hands you can have with an open hand (calling pon/chi/kan (from another player) opens your hand). All Simples, All Triples, Half Flush, or a Triplet of a dragon or seat/your wind are the ones you will actually use regularly. Basically the general rule is if you open your hand and your hand contains terminals (1's or 9's) or honor tiles (dragons/winds) then you're going to need one of those yaku (valid hands). Then just figure out what furiten is and everything else develops from there.

The game has an initial learning curve that is a bit annoying, but then you will quickly pick it up by just playing.

If you open your hand (call chi/pon/kan from another players discard) then you will need an open yaku. The most common/easiest open hand yakus are All Simples (tanyao), All Triplets (Toitoi), Half Flush (honitsu) or a yakuhai triplet (Triplet of a dragon or your seat wind or the prevalent wind (the one that it says in the middle of the board, usually only East or South).

If you keep your hand closed, you will always be able to declare riichi when you're in tenpai (your hand only needs 1 tile to complete). Declaring riichi costs 1k points and basically makes the game autoplay for you as you are forced to discard your drawn tile. So keeping your hand closed is kind of easier for new players.

When you're new just focus on completing your hand and improving your tile efficiency rather than points, though aiming for big hands can keep the game fun when you're new, so watch for yakuman's (max scoring hands). Also the shiny tiles (doras) are an easy way to make your hand worth more, try to make use of them if you can.

Also a key part of the game is you cannot win from someone elses discard if your wait (tiles that could complete your hand) includes tiles you have discarded, so avoid this happening or you will be in furiten. This also means tiles other players have discarded are safe as they cannot win off your discard.

This will all sound like complicated nonsense, but it's actually simple to pick up once you understand this.

Use the pic or similar for the yaku's.

It's easier to learn what kills your hand then to memorize all the yakus when you're new. Basically avoid opening your hand with terminals/honors unless one of the open hand yakus still apply.

The open hand yakus that you can regularly achieve are All triplets, Half flush, Full Flush and All Simples. Closed hand yaku's are just things that improve your score and you don't need to worry about them too much till you get better.
