Pablo Ibáñez

Pablo is an expert on theory, both in languages and music. I learned so much on how to improve my Spanish to sound more natural and also enjoy Spanish culture through the art of Flamenco. ¡Muchas gracias de nuevo!

Pablo's classes are always fun, and can be structured or unstructured depending on your needs. I am at a fairly advanced level, and he has a deep fund of knowledge of grammar and syntax and of linguistics in general. So much of the time is conversational, but when I am taking a deep-dive into grammar he is able to provide all sorts of relevant materials that are useful and never intimidating. He is a great teacher for any level of student.

Pablo is so patient with me and willing to pivot topics if that's where the conversation naturally goes. I learned so much today!

Pablo is always very well prepared with a variety of resources to fill you in on the thornier aspects of Catalan grammar and pronunciation. He also has a superb knowledge of English which allows him to draw clear and helpful analogies between the two languages, as well as of course to help you find the right word in any situation. Furthermore, he is always friendly and energetic, and makes sure you are an equal participant in the conversation regardless of your current level. I’ve had a good number of lessons with him now and my Catalan has progressed from a couple of words to effective conversational fluency in the span of a few months. He comes highly recommended!

I get the feeling Pablo kun is studious and diligent in his own way, but he doesn’t take himself too seriously. Which I totally vibe with. Another thing that stands out to me: Pablo kun 英語と日本語分かるので、両方で対応できる先生がいるのは嬉しいですね〜 because I can follow my stream of consciousness. Good vibes. It’s always nice talking to him :)

I really like how Pablo comes in with a concept for the lesson but is also willing to pivot based on the conversation. I love the words I learned today!
