I'm taking prof. Romine this quarter for SPAN 4 and his lectures are so much fun! He's super nice and approachable. I recommend highly!!

Jakob makes learning a new language extremely fun, and makes you WANT to come to class. He is the sweetest and funniest instructor at UCSB and had the biggest impact on my class and I. He creates a very comforting and inclusive learning environment, which makes students more comfortable with participating. Great person overall !!

Jakob provides a really safe learning environment where he doesn't judge students for making Spanish mistakes! I had a lot of fun in the class and even over Zoom, the professor taught well and made good conversation.
