Translating

I'm a native speaker and translate Dutch/English/Dutch in various fields including medical research, the arts, digital maps, and also entire web sites. I take the time to understand the subject matter before starting on a translation. This ensures correct and easy to read texts.

Some of the organisations I work for:
Eindhoven City Council
Kiezel Communicatie, Rotterdam
University of Utrecht
Interlingo Taalbureau, Eindhoven

I also write texts in English, including speeches, based on information provided.

I have also designed several lessons, team activities and courses around English, aimed specifically at those for whom it is a second language.

Going Native
A culinary lunch or dinner, where conversation skills can be honed under the expert guidance of native speakers as table speakers, in a structured, informative and fun programme. Ideal as team activity.

Lyric English
(English through pop lyrics)
Listening, singing along, reading the lyrics and analysing them: what is actually being sung? What does it mean, which popular expressions are being used, and what kind of nuances can we discover there?
