I never felt like language class time was spent unproductively.

Joseph from 2013

I found in-class conversations the most *enjoyable*, certainly, but I think that every exercise contributed substantially to my learning.

I am really happy I decided to study at KCP.

Alice from 2013

I love that the school is in the heart of Tokyo and that all the classes are in Japanese. Since the classes are taught only in Japanese it pushes me to study more.

Attend KCP only if you are serious about studying Japanese.

Chris from 2013

Studying here is not as relaxed as studying at many colleges in the US and will require not only a large amount of your time, but also constant effort. Of course the work is rewarded and this program seems to be one of the best ways to improve your Japanese.

The Kamakura overnight trip was the best.

Alison from 2013

I especially liked being able to spend time with my fellow English speakers while still being very immersed in Japanese culture.

Staying with a homestay family was the most interesting aspect of the program for me.

Jason from 2013

I got to see and live first hand with a Japanese family and also got to practice what I learned in class that day.

I particularly like group work, as I usually feel like it's the most practical way to improve in the language.

Adam from 2013

The opportunity to talk with other students from all around the world is always the best part of studying at KCP for me. Of course it’s an opportunity to practice Japanese, but it’s also fascinating to hear what they have to say about all kinds of things.

I have had such a wonderful time in Tokyo.

Yuna from 2013

I have found all of the culture classes interesting as Japanese culture is so different from English culture so learning about these differences has not only been fascinating but also useful for daily life in Japan.

I saw different aspects of life in Japan.

Alison from 2013

Pair work helped me because whatever I didn’t understand I could ask my partner.

Culture immersion allowed us to see Japan's past.

Ronnie from 2013

The full Japanese immersion taught me more than I could have thought possible. Though sometimes a little guidance was needed, it was easy to pick things up and continue living in Japan without any trouble.
