My name is Ramón Rubén Ruiz and I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. For the last six years, I have been living with my family in Ustí nad Labem, Czech Republic.  I currently work as a Spanish teacher at the Gymnasium Teplice. I must obtain a degree in Pedagogy to continue working as a teacher in this country.  Therefore, I am studying English language for Education at Masaryk University in Brno.

​

My interests include sports, psychology, cooking and learning languages. I love reading about Spanish and English grammar and acquiring new knowledge in my academic field. I believe it is important to continue developing new skills, especially in a fast-paced job like teaching. 

​

English is my second language which I learnt as an adult and now, I enjoy speaking English with family and friends. My family and I lived in Brighton, England for fourteen years. My three daughters were also born in Brighton and they are native English speakers. For this reason, I would love to achieve a high English proficiency level. I have no problem communicating with my English friends, however I have a strong Spanish accent so I want to focus on improving my English pronunciation.

I have made this portfolio to record my progress, present any newly gained experience and achievements while at university.
