KCP is fast paced and rigorous. Because of the pressures I am able to remember most of the grammar rules. Tests are frequent and stressful but are an active way to check my knowledge.

Games were helpful because it made the class feel more relaxed, and I wouldn’t feel so nervous when trying to answer questions.

Going around the room forming sentences around the vocabulary on the smart screen was excellent practice in pronunciation and forcing ourselves to think quicker. Sensei asking about our home countries and hometowns (etc) was also helpful because we were already familiar with the topic, which just left describing it using the vocabulary.

I want go back to study in KCP again, so I guess that’s a good sign. It’s a really good school, but I also think it depends on how much time you want to put into it. Don’t just see it as a trip to japan, really try to live it, and use what you’re learning. In the west, language schools aren’t that helpful, so take advantage of that.

I was surprised I had my own bath in Ikebukuro dorm. There aren’t enough pictures of the living arrangements on the websites so most students are really surprised by how nice the dorms are. Overall I really liked it.

Very high reviews and a website that provided lots of insight into the program.

I think that drill work and pair work were the most helpful because they allowed for live practice of learned material without being drowned out by others.

The KCP program has a reputation of being rigorous, and students said they learned a lot in their time here. As my personal goals require me to become functionally fluent and literate in a reasonable amount of time, I chose KCP to help get me there.

The most interesting aspect of this program is how intensive everything is and how much assistance you receive with all of the staff. I have never had so much care from a staff ever. They were wonderful people and one of the reasons I would return to the program and recommend it to others.

I think that being a part of the tea ceremony as well as the overnight Hakone / Yamanashi trip were that highlights of the events/activities.
