I loved meeting new people in my classes and being able to practice Japanese almost every day. I loved living in Japan as if I were Japanese and absorbing the culture. 

—Pei Lin

The first day of class may seem a little intimidating, especially due to the fact that most of your classmates won’t be able to speak English. However everyone is there to learn and have a fun time doing so, so just remember to take it easy and make a bunch of friends! By the end of my quarter here at KCP, everyone in my class were friends and whenever we had presentations it didn’t seem like such a big deal because we all knew each other.

—Brian Bergquist

Even students of the same country must converse in Japanese. I believe that this really encourages students to go through trial and error in order to express themselves beyond what they are used to.

Khaalidah from Fall 2016

I selected this program because after looking through the KCP website, I realized that this program had a lot to offer to those seeking greater achievements. I believed that it would allow me to wholisticly improve my Japanese because of its environment that focuses on helping the students to reach higher personal achievements and language proficiency levels.

The dorm itself is absolutely gorgeous, and my room itself was the biggest I’ve ever had in a dorm setting.
