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

Elizabeth from Summer Short 2019

Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?

The field trip to the Kokkai Gijidou was so fun and informative!

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

I loved starting to read kanji! I would have liked to have more conversational vocabulary introduced earlier. For example, I never learned how to ask someone how they were feeling, or tell others how I am feeling.

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

Testimonials

Because I am a huge fan of research and spreadsheets, I created an excel worksheet comparing numerous Japanese study abroad programs by cost, housing, length of study, and many other comparison points. Overall, KCP came out superior based on the amount of things that you get for the price. After completing the program, I can say choosing KCP was a perfect decision. KCP is a real school — professional teachers, strict grading systems, textbooks – the whole package. KCP proved to be much more than I expected – the classes are tough, but it taught me how to work harder, build a work ethic, and I am coming out with many rich experiences thanks to KCP. This school truly prepares you for higher levels and entrance into Japanese colleges.
