MY
MISSION
I wish to contribute to better communication between people and thus to a better world.
Therefore, I offer projects and training with a social objective in language, communication and culture.
Better mutual understanding contributes to a well functioning society. Proper knowledge and command of a language play an important role. Just as knowledge of the social and cultural background of our communication partners does.
SOME
EXAMPLES
Do you wish to integrate into Dutch society? I can help you build your Dutch language skills to the level required for the integration exam.
Do you experience difficulties reading and understanding written texts? I can help you improve your reading skills and comprehension, facilitating better participation in society.
Do you wish to put your dreams, ideas or thoughts into words? I can help you write texts in the appropriate tone of voice and style. I can also be of service as a text editor.
I can rely on nearly 30 years of experience as Director of Foreign Affairs Communication & Language Training, text writer, editor and translator.

This is our way to contribute to a better connection with the public and to an inclusive and polyphonic historiography.
WHAT MAKES WORKING WITH
RIPASSA LANGUAGE PRODUCTIONS SPECIAL?
All projects receive my personal attention and are tailored to the needs and wishes of my clients.
I am taking the extra mile to tailor a training or a project to the personal learning, life or work style of my clients and I have an inviting attitude in collaborations.
WHAT OTHERS
APPRECIATE ME FOR
“I thoroughly enjoyed my online Dutch lessons with Wendy this year, she’s not only a great teacher but delightful company! As a beginner, I was able to build my confidence and skills at my own pace, as the classes were tailored to my needs with a good variety of exercises. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher – dank je Wendy!”
