This is Roselle Ubalde, our new language assistant

The English Side

Hello, everyone ! 

I’m Roselle and I’m 23 years old. I recently graduated from the University of the Philippines-Diliman with a degree Bachelor of Arts in European Languages, where I wrote my undergraduate thesis about the translation from French to English of “The Adventures of Tintin.” I arrived in Córdoba after a 17-hour flight from Manila and a 5 hour- bus ride from Madrid. It is my first time to be away from home for a long period of time but I’m excited to see the sights within and outside of Spain. 

I come from the Philippines, which has more than 7, 107 islands (the students are quite amazed when I told them about this). I live in Quezon City, which is within Metro Manila, with my family (my parents, my sisters and my brother and our two dogs, named Buster and Lightning).  I also spend a lot of time with my nephews. 

During my free time, I mostly read novels and watch Downton Abbey. I’m crazy about tennis so I’m very much updated with it, especially if it involves Roger Federer (I know it’s an unpopular opinion here in Spain). 

My first month has been great. Lucena is a wonderful place. The people are so lovely and kind and I am sure that the coming months will be even better. 

The Spanish Side

Hola a todos! 

Soy Roselle y tengo 23 años. Acabo de graduarme de la Universidad de Filipinas-Diliman con un grado en las artes de las lenguas europeas. Mi tesis se trata de la traducción de inglés a francés de “Adventures of Tintin”. Llegué en Córdoba después de 17 horas de vuelo de Filipinas y de 5 horas de viaje en autobús desde Madrid. Es mi primera vez viajar al extranjero y tengo muchas ganas de visitar y explorar muchos sitios dentro y fuera de España.

Soy de Filipinas que tiene más de 7, 107 islas (les sorprendió oír eso). Vivo en la ciudad de Quezon, dentro de Metro Manila, con mi familia (mis padres, mis hermanas, mi hermano y nuestros perros que se llaman Buster y Lightning). Me gusta también pasar tiempo con mis sobrinos. 

Me gusta mucho leer libros y ver Downton Abbey durante mi tiempo libre. También, soy fanática de tenis, especialmente de Roger Federer (sí, yo sé que no es una posición popular aquí en España). 

Mi primer mes ha sido espectacular. Lucena es un pueblo muy bonito. La gente es muy amable y estoy segura de que los próximos meses serán aún mejores.
