If you find life in Japan suitable for you, find a community.

Bryan from Summer 2025

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

言葉 Day was very fun because I was allowed to not only perform, but show some creativity while working towards a goal together with my classmates as a team.

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

The most interest aspects of KCP is the bond that develops between the students and teachers which allow for community and language practice.

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

The most helpful learning technique for me was simply attempting to use a new grammar point and being corrected if I was wrong.

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

If you find life in Japan suitable for you, find a community. I am thankful I did because now I have people who will be waiting for me when I come back.

Testimonials

I’d say that the two weeks we got as Summer Short Term students before starting the actual Summer Term with the international students helped a lot. It prepared me for the intensity and structure of the program. I’d say the structure of the program and every day classes were very helpful in advancing my Japanese skills. Switching from some review and practice with my peers, to dictation, to kanji, etc, was engaging. I just think the intensity and structure of the program was ideal, at least for me.
