I was confident that KCP would help me improve my Japanese.

Anthony from 2013

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

I most enjoyed the field trip to Hakone Shrine, Odawara Castle, and Owakudani. Not only did we get to see some beautiful places, we also played Jan Ken Pon Derby and watched part of Princess Mononoke on the bus!

Why did you select this program?

I chose it for a few reasons: first, the idea of studying in Tokyo appealed to me, and I was confident that KCP would help me improve my Japanese. Second, the application deadline and term of study were very convenient for my schedule. Third, the estimated financial costs were within my budget limitations.

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

For me, writing essays and having kanji tests were probably the most significant contributions to my improvement.

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.
