The Kabuki show, tea ceremony, and Kamakura trip were all amazing.

Jeffrey from Summer 2018

Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?

The Kamakura trip with the American program was amazing. Being able to do conversation practice with Shishido sensei and Tsujioka sensei was great.

What activities or materials did you find most helpful (e.g., pair work, drill practice, tests, small group sessions, textbooks, games)?

The explanation of new vocab from the Kanji textbook every day in class. It was great listening practice, and helped us learn how the new words "fit" into the Japanese language, rather than just memorizing new sounds.

What did you find most valuable in the Culture Course?

The Kabuki show, tea ceremony, and Kamakura trip were all amazing.

Testimonials

Because I am a huge fan of research and spreadsheets, I created an excel worksheet comparing numerous Japanese study abroad programs by cost, housing, length of study, and many other comparison points. Overall, KCP came out superior based on the amount of things that you get for the price. After completing the program, I can say choosing KCP was a perfect decision. KCP is a real school — professional teachers, strict grading systems, textbooks – the whole package. KCP proved to be much more than I expected – the classes are tough, but it taught me how to work harder, build a work ethic, and I am coming out with many rich experiences thanks to KCP. This school truly prepares you for higher levels and entrance into Japanese colleges.
