The most productive and interesting would be the fact of hearing understandable Japanese (for our level) during the 3 hours class per day. It has definitely been a major point in my overall Japanese improvement.

Participate in class!!! It makes all the difference and the teachers will get to know you better. Also it is easier to make friends when you are active in class.

I’d say both parts of the culture course are equally valuable. Learning about history and seeing it in person are essential to understanding it.

The Yokohama class trip was fantastic and I wish there were more class excursions.

It was great having Japanese instruction and then being able to go out into Japan and put what we learned into practice in the real world.

Games are easily the best way for me and other students to learn. But for me personally my one on one time with my teachers was the best way for me to learn.

To me, it didn’t feel like we were wasting time with any of the activities we did in class, they were all useful.

Be open to making friends from other countries! Before KCP I would have described myself as a “home-body” and an introvert, but when I really pushed myself, I became much more outgoing and I was always looking to do more in Japan.

I really enjoyed talking to the staff and teachers that came with us on the Odawara and Kamakura trips.

Learning the language is only a part of understanding it. Being able to learn about the world the language came from really helps you understand it.
