Järvenpään opiston kevätesitteessä virhe koskien Upper English Intermediate -kurssia

Huomasin juuri, että opiston kevätesitteessä on Upper English Intermediate-kurssi jostain syystä vilahtanut väärälle päivälle (ti). Oikea päivä on tietysti ma klo 19.30 ja paikkana Yhteiskoulu kuten syksylläkin.

Tiistaina jatkuu ihan normaalisti New Headway Intermediate -peruskurssi Lukiolla kuten syksylläkin.

Toivottavasti tämä ei ole aiheuttanut hirveästi sekaannusta.
