The cultural excursions and an opportunity to converse with Japanese people outside of KCP.

Conversation and drill practice were the most effective in learning how to speak Japanese.

Review sessions with Kato sensei were very helpful for reviewing grammar and understanding things better. Class and homework in general were helpful for reviewing material.

Class forces that. Basically cultivating conversational skills through 1 on 1 conversation is quite interesting to me.

The Yamanashi trip was really fun and interesting. The Bunraku show was a nice experience too.

The club activities offered many chances to interact and practice language skills.

I loved going to the museums and shrines! Learning some of Japan’s history was an incredible experience!

The fact that the teachers push you to use the best Japanese you can really helped me to better understand the language in a way that just learning from a friend wouldn’t. I loved going to class and learning the material as it was presented.

Being in a foreign country can be stressful and having friends you feel “have you back” really helps when you feel home sick. It’s also a great study motivation to study together.

Everone in my host family is incredibly nice and treated me like a member of the family. I am very grateful.
