Not necessarily an expert. Rails will force you to use some of Ruby's features more than others, so you will most likely re-learn them while learning Rails should you forget how they work. The Ruby part of Rails is rather easy - the challenge lies in proper understanding of the framework. Knowing some tricks that make the Ruby code concise will definitely help.

I would suggest doing Ruby Basics and Foundations on Treehouse and maybe reinforce your understanding through Codecademy. This should be enough to start doing Rails.
