o_O ZEROMUS YOU ARE AMAZING! Would you be willing to help teach others, including myself?
Well, I wouldn't mind trying to help you all, but remember I'm a student too, so I wouldn't be able to answer everything.

ルベン
Yep, that's a perfect transliteration of 'Ruben' (which is another example of a foreign name fitting perfectly into Japanese- Ru be n).

"I'm sorry" would be 'gomen nasai' if you were being polite, if you were being casual you could just say 'gomen'. Saying 'warui' (bad) is equivalent to saying 'my bad'.

For good luck...'ganbatte' works as an interjection. For nouns, 'kou un' is 'good luck', and 'aku un' is 'bad luck'.

Kou'un - 好運【こううん】

Aku'un - 悪運【あくうん】

Ganbatte! - がんばって!
