Drill practices and textbook work were very helpful.

Demarcus from 2014

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

The Kamakura trip and the Akihabara trip were the most interesting. I enjoy seeing the rural parts of Japan and I enjoy the anime/manga parts of Japan.

Which co-curriculum classes did you find most satisfying?

English Support class is a huge help. Without it, I would have been very confused when learning Japanese.

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

Learning sentence structures and using them in class was very useful and interesting. There are no least interesting thing for me.

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

Drill practices and textbook work were very helpful. Also pair work and group work were helpful for me since I don`t have friends to practice my Japanese on.

What did you find most valuable in the Culture Course?

Learning about Japanese history was the most valuable thing I learned. Having conversation and Japanese and English enabled me to understand things more.

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.
