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

Going to Yokohama was probably the most satisfying because we were able to speak outside of the classroom textbooks with natives. It was also nice to be able to walk around and learn verses always sitting in a classroom.

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

Games were most helpful overall but depending on the partner, pair work was also helpful.

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

Bring enough of your medicines if you have any for your time at KCP. Try not to get sick and miss class. It's hard to catch up.

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.
