The essay writing classes were useful in helping recall what we learned and making us practice handwritten Japanese in a limited amount of time.

The KCP program has a reputation of being rigorous, and students said they learned a lot in their time here. As my personal goals require me to become functionally fluent and literate in a reasonable amount of time, I chose KCP to help get me there.

My class was very interactive and the teachers had us communicating all the time. Working with classmates was enjoyable.

Kelly from Fall 2016

The most interesting aspect of this program is how intensive everything is and how much assistance you receive with all of the staff. I have never had so much care from a staff ever. They were wonderful people and one of the reasons I would return to the program and recommend it to others.

Overall the program was extremely productive. The classes as well as special classes added more to the learning.

Jasmine from Fall 2016

I think that being a part of the tea ceremony as well as the overnight Hakone / Yamanashi trip were that highlights of the events/activities.

Even though I didn’t do well but, I came home with the understanding of Japanese. I love all the teachers they were the best, can’t wait to go again.

I took part in the koto club, which I found to be very fun! I got to practice Japanese and learn an instrument I didn't have access to in the USA.

Vivian from Fall 2016

Events where we could interact with native Japanese speakers were productive. Other events that let me interact with my classmates outside of the classroom such as the Barbecue provided a great chance to utilize what we learned in class, as well as being fun.

Even students of the same country must converse in Japanese. I believe that this really encourages students to go through trial and error in order to express themselves beyond what they are used to.

Khaalidah from Fall 2016

I selected this program because after looking through the KCP website, I realized that this program had a lot to offer to those seeking greater achievements. I believed that it would allow me to wholisticly improve my Japanese because of its environment that focuses on helping the students to reach higher personal achievements and language proficiency levels.

KCP seemed like the most rigorous of the Japanese schools I looked at, with the best staff and facilities.

Leo from Fall 2016

The regular classes were my favorite part I think, since you learn new things every day and get to practice Japanese in the classroom environment.

Learning about the Japanese mannerisms and thought processes behind them.

Nicholas from Fall 2016

I really enjoyed the actual classes themselves. It was very engaging and the teachers were resourceful in the case that someone didn’t understand something.

KCP seemed to fit what I wanted the most being located in Tokyo, Japan and full of students from other countries.

Graciella from Fall 2016

Having three different teachers I feel helped the most. I got to see the content taught from different perspectives and it helped me think of it using different approaches.

Testimonials

If you’re considering KCP, just sign up. If you have to, save up for it. It was worth it. I continue to learn the language, I continue to make new friends, I continue to find new, unfamiliar and exciting places and all of this was possible because I made the decision to learn at KCP. I have met some really great people (friends as well as teachers) who have helped me grow as a person. I’m thankful for this time I’ve spent here. It really has gone by too fast but I will forever remember the memories I’ve made here.
