In Here you enter the width and height of my monitor if you need to enter your monitor.

Scientist creates a free website for learning languages

So far have begun with the Spanish and German, but later came the French, Italian and Chinese.

This is the case of the University of Concepción . Its president, William Petersen, told La Tercera that "we reject the government's proposal because it emanated from an ideological agreement of this political class and does not respond to, for example, how the state will guarantee education as a right and only deepens on indebtedness. "

A similar view is the president of the Student Federation of the U.

We see no structural change, on the contrary, privatization further education and perpetuating the debt, "demanded the leader.
