    Resources at the Dominican Republic Dec 9, 2015

    Mariano,
    There's also here, in the Dominican Republic, a course of Legal English at the Dominico-Americano University. So, yes, we have pretty nice resources here.icon_smile.gif
    People just have to look around well in their location for training resources. On libraries, bookstores, universities and associations.
