I enjoyed the excursions and the lectures. It was really interesting to learn about the history of the places we visited.

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

I really enjoyed the Sports Day and seeing the sakura at Shinjuku Gyoen. I think they were great opportunities to get closer with my teachers and other students. I also really enjoyed participating in the Hanazono Matsuri.

What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?

The best part of the program was definitely the conversation practice in class and in the exams. I felt like I was really able to improve.

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

The pair work and games were definitely the most helpful for me.

What did you find most valuable in the Culture Course?

I enjoyed the excursions and the lectures. It was really interesting to learn about the history of the places we visited.

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

Develop a good study routine early, because once the test/quiz schedule picks up you will need to have good habits to keep up.

KCP is a great school and you can learn a lot here if you put in the work. Expect to study a lot, and expect teachers to be strict when grading, especially in levels 1-4. There will be days when you don’t think you’re getting any better, but that’s usually because the classes are always going to be challenging. That’s a good thing.
