He is very intelligent and easy to communicate with which is a big deal to me when learning a new language. Any subject or language skill that I brought up George new exactly what I was talking about. Mr. M is well versed in Latin which is a great help because he can break down words and show you the root and how they are similar to your native language. George lived in Russia for many years and speaks Russian as well as a native speaker.
