the Yamanashi trip was by far the most fun activity as I got to explore outside of Tokyo and see the country side of japan

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

The most productive were the class and time spent learning Japanese in class. the least was textbook work as it was very hard to understand some topics as they are all in Japanese

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

I found the speaking sessions and short test times to be challenging but also helpful in testing my Japanese knowledge and pushing my abilities

If you’re looking for an intensive course, then KCP is the place to go! Although it was hard work, it was also a lot of fun and I’m very pleased with my current language skill – and I’ve only just finished Level 1! Going out with the class for a final dinner really showed me how much we’d learnt as we had no problems in conveying our feelings even though our only common language was Japanese. I’d come back in a heartbeat.
