About George Machlan
George Machlan is a columnist and ESL editor at Fair Languages. He is a “self-appointed” English coach at My ESL Friends, does not adhere to any traditional form of instruction and is purposely anti-authoritarian in teaching styles. While not creative he is a master innovator and has brought much of current science in how the brain learns to his own method called “Karaoke English”.
