I enjoyed the trip to Kamakura.

Russell from 2014

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

I enjoyed the trip to Kamakura. It allowed a view of Japan outside of Tokyo in a less urban, more traditional setting. It also showed off a lot of the history of Japan as well. I do wish however there was more time to explore.

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

Pair work was often helpful, as long as the other person was willing to participate.

What did you find most valuable in the Culture Course?

The Japanese psychology course was very interesting.

Any further thoughts or tips for those considering the program or new KCP students?

Bring a heavy jacket no matter what season your going. Early spring can be very cold at night, and rainy season is misserable without a decent coat.

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.
