I recommend KCP to anyone who would like to further their Japanese skills. Even my friends who had no prior experience learning Japanese before coming to KCP showed immense progress in being able to express themselves in Japanese after only two months.
Read moreI’ve made unforgettable connections during my time at KCP, and my experience has helped me realize how passionate I am about learning Japanese. I hope to continue studying Japanese and stay in touch with everyone I met during the program.
I met some wonderful people at my dorm that I definitely grew strong bonds with due to being around one another so much. I didn't have any problems during my stay.
Read moreI would suggest spending as much time as possible out on the town so you can hear people interacting and perhaps pick up on certain ways people talk or nuances they have when communicating.
Don’t be afraid to talk to any of the staff members! Even if they aren’t your teacher or aren’t your specific program’s staff member, everyone is really nice and is there to help you get better!
Read moreWorking with other students was really helpful, especially in group sessions. Group sessions offered the review I really needed to be up to pace with the level I was entering, and I don’t think I would have done as well if I hadn’t had the group sessions. Conversations with native Japanese speakers were also really helpful and exciting.
I enjoyed hanging out with the friends I made in my classes after class.
Read moreBefore taking KCP I had never taken a Japanese class taught only in Japanese. I thought I would really struggle with comprehending the lessons however I was able to understand the professors majority of the time.
Have an open mind and don't be so scared to use your Japanese, mistakes help with learning.

Japan, Japanese people, and the Japanese language will surprise and delight you every day.
