Rubén Anatoliy 鲁本

I have been taking classes with Ruben for a while now, and he is an excellent teacher. I have enjoyed my lessons with him for several reasons. He is very patient and encouraging. My lessons usually begin with just talking about whatever is on my mind at the time, and then he guides me toward the teaching point for the day. I think it is important to have these moments of casual conversation because that's what I'm learning it for in the end. It also makes the lessons more relaxed and enjoyable. It is like talking to a friend, and at this point, I would say, I consider him a friend as well as a teacher. He always gives an appropriate amount of homework/practice and gives me feedback. In addition, at the end of each lesson, he sends me a list of the words that I learned that day, so I can review them. I highly recommend his lessons! ¡Muchas gracias Ruben!

Cada lección con Ruben es divertido y útil. Disfruto hablar sobre temas variadas y Ruben es siempre muy amable y es un buen maestro. El puede responder a todos mis preguntas y dame ejemplos prácticos. Al principio, solamente quería practicar el español para mis viajes a Sudamérica, pero ahora quiero tomar mas lecciónes con Ruben. Tengo muchos ganas de conversar con Ruben en el futuro y le recomiendo sus lecciónes a todo el mundo. Mi español no es el mejor pero está mejorando, gracias a él.

Rueben noticed that I was familiar with the verb gustar from an earlier lesson, so he gave me a lesson using verbs that behaved similarly in structure. Then he honed in on one of the verbs to introduce nouns well suited to use with that verb. A fascinating lesson. We always begin with a chat, and it is surprising what one can discuss even with minimal knowledge.

This was a very important lesson because Reuben taught me the past tense for verbs. Knowing only the present tense has limited my ability to express ideas, so I'm glad to learn the past tense.

I'm a beginner in Spanish, but Ruben helped me describe my schedule, and it was surprising how much I could explain. We also discussed a very important topic: food! I hope I can use what I learned today to try some Mexican dishes that are new to me.
