I like how I was able to meet a diverse group of people.

Betsy from Summer Short 2019

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

I really enjoyed the sushi making experience because I’ve never done anything like it before and I love sushi.

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

I like how I was able to meet a diverse group of people. I also think that the textbooks were implemented very well. The only thing I wanted more was conversation days.

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

I liked the short kanji tests everyday because they kept me focused on studying everyday. I also liked when we went over the grammar in the textbook.

Any suggestions for improving class activities or materials?

Maybe there could be short grammar tests everyday too.

Anything you especially liked in the living arrangements? Any problems you experienced?

The dorm room was so nice and comfortable! We also had a dorm party which was really fun.

What dorm did you live in or host family did you live with?

Ikebukuro

If you’re considering KCP, just sign up. If you have to, save up for it. It was worth it. I continue to learn the language, I continue to make new friends, I continue to find new, unfamiliar and exciting places and all of this was possible because I made the decision to learn at KCP. I have met some really great people (friends as well as teachers) who have helped me grow as a person. I’m thankful for this time I’ve spent here. It really has gone by too fast but I will forever remember the memories I’ve made here.
