Don't study so much that you aren't able to experience the Japanese culture by not going out.

Shayla from Spring 2016

I liked the fact that I could always talk to a teacher before or after class if I had a question or a concern. I thought the fact that KCP students could take cooking classes was very interesting.

I found kanji to be one of my struggles but the in class explanations of kanji and showing the proper stoke orders helped me immensely.

Aaliyah from Spring 2016

I enjoyed the field trip activities that were given to us because it allowed us to experience some parts of Japan that we would experience if we were on vacation but with the help of knowledgable teachers and KCP employees.

The teachers were extremely helpful and skilled in teaching grammar and vocabulary.

Having conversation practice in class was also very helpful in practicing new grammar.

It's been very rewarding!

Yacine from Spring 2016

KCP seemed like a good mix of learning and doing. I’m very happy with the way things are going. I’ve gone from level absolute zero to being able to hold a basic (though formal) conversation, and while Kanji seemed like an impossible wall to surmount, I can now recognize 150-something kanji and reasonably scribble out almost as many!

Each professor was more interesting than the last and gave an in-depth look at many of the multi-faceted aspects

William from Spring 2016

Each professor was more interesting than the last and gave an in-depth look at many of the multi-faceted aspects of Japnese culture. This is exactly the kind of thing students need.

The club activities were very fun.

Celena from Winter 2016

It was the best opportunity to actually utilize the Japanese skills learned in class in addition to making friends. The Tea Ceremony club was a lovely glance into traditional Japanese culture.

The best aspects of the program were being able to always speak in Japanese at all times.

I thought that the trip to Kamogawa Sea World during the Winter Term was a lot of fun, and very interesting.

After coming here during the 2013 Fall term, I loved the intensive learning method that was used in class.

Shalai from Winter 2016

This is a school that can truly help anyone improve their Japanese. Not only do you meet new people but those people become lifetime friends.

It is intensive and fast paced.

Brittany from Spring 2016

Just in these three months alone we have covered about the same material covered in nine months of classes back home. At this point I am learning new material that I never got to back home in my classes.

If you are looking to study Japanese in Japan, I highly recommend KCP International. For starters, it’s in Tokyo! (And who doesn’t want to be in Tokyo?) KCP is in an extremely convenient location and using public transportation you can pretty much get around anywhere.
