I also got to trip the peaches as well as see the Edo style village which was very fascinating.

Specifically, the pair work where partners rotated around the room. While it was quite nerve-racking in general, I found my speaking abilities grew a lot because of it.

Make friends with the international students and hang out with them. It’s really helps you use your Japanese.

I liked the tea ceremony because I have never tried true matcha tea before, and it was cool to see how it was made.

I enjoyed that most of the students in my class were not from the same country and that there was somewhat of a language barrier if you didn’t know the words in Japanese.

I enjoyed learning about cultural spots in Japan with the guidance of my teachers and friends surrounding me.

I would suggest using Japanese as much as you can because studying at KCP is a unique opportunity to be able to speak Japanese in all aspects of your life.

Take the initiative to make friends with people from different cultures, and you’ll be rewarded with valuable connections and experiences, as well as an opportunity to practice Japanese speaking outside of class.

Building conversations in class with classmates was amazing, and really get you thinking about how to speak. Speaking was my worst skill before coming here, and my confidence has shot up tenfold after.

This program is an amazing opportunity to make life long friends, experience a beautiful place, and greatly boost your Japanese ability.
