Lamine from Summer Short 2019

Before taking KCP I had never taken a Japanese class taught only in Japanese. I thought I would really struggle with comprehending the lessons however I was able to understand the professors majority of the time.

Have an open mind and don't be so scared to use your Japanese, mistakes help with learning.

Be prepared to learn how to manage your time. If you can figure out what you need in order to study and keep up in class, you will be able to have a social life.

Most productive aspects included all the extra help the teachers were willing to give and the many activities the school offered.

Make sure to make as many friends as possible. Working together is easier than working alone.

Kevin from Summer Short 2019

The trip to the TEPIA technology gallery was the most fun because I am studying computer science. I was very fortunate to be able to see advanced technology and practice some coding.

Sirapat from Summer Short 2019

I found the kanji textbook and its back questions to be very helpful in remembering the kanji. Textbook example sentences offered a concise demonstration of a grammar point.

Study kanji more than you think you need to. There is no such thing as too much kanji study.

Chase from Summer Short 2019

The most interesting part of this program was becoming friends with students who I could only communicate with in Japanese. It taught me how to exercise my language skills and create friendships at the same time.

It was exciting to see specific places in Japan that you wouldn't normally get to go and see.

Simon from Summer Short 2019

I enjoyed the quizzes-they weren’t as difficult as I imagined they’d be. Some teachers went quite fast paced and used more advanced sentence structure which made some moments in class difficult.

KCP is a great program because of what it has currently. Great teachers, with a good curriculum, allows for a superior learning opportunity and is the main reason why KCP’s students are great at Japanese.
