I was confident that KCP would help me improve my Japanese.

Anthony from 2013

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

I most enjoyed the field trip to Hakone Shrine, Odawara Castle, and Owakudani. Not only did we get to see some beautiful places, we also played Jan Ken Pon Derby and watched part of Princess Mononoke on the bus!

Why did you select this program?

I chose it for a few reasons: first, the idea of studying in Tokyo appealed to me, and I was confident that KCP would help me improve my Japanese. Second, the application deadline and term of study were very convenient for my schedule. Third, the estimated financial costs were within my budget limitations.

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

For me, writing essays and having kanji tests were probably the most significant contributions to my improvement.

Testimonials

I highly recommend KCP for its focused and encouraging program. The opportunity to practice speaking and comprehending Japanese during class, in conversation sessions, and in day-to-day life was an invaluable experience for which I am very grateful. KCP’s staff and instructors are nothing but helpful and there is no question that they are dedicated to the dissemination of the Japanese language.
