I look forward to practicing my Japanese everyday.

Alberto from 2014

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

The trip to Kamamura was amazing and stands out to me as one of my favorites. It was very immersive and I believe if the goal is to put students in a Japanese situation I believe this event accomplishes that well.

Which co-curriculum classes did you find most satisfying?

The Bus trip to Edomura was my favorite.

Why did you select this program?

From looking at various videos and students reviews, It was overall positive and once I learned it was located in Shinjuku it only made me more excited.

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

The best is definitely the class environment, I always feel comfortable with either of the 3 teachers that cycle in a week and look forward to practicing my Japanese everyday. The least interesting to me is difficult to say however the clubs meet so far and few inbetween times that it is difficult to gain any kind of motivation or dedication to a club.

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

Definitely pair conversations and occasional acting out of actual real life situations. This I found most helpful because often times, it is Japanese I have been waiting to use and enjoy using out of the class room daily.

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

Have fun, and work hard. If you do these simple things then you can enjoy KCP to the fullest and make some great memories.

Any other comments or suggestions?

Keep up the good work. KCP as a whole I honestly find it difficult to have any complaints without sounding picky therefor I think I am very happy with my choice in attending KCP.

Testimonials

I wanted to be in a major city in Japan and learn Japanese, and this program had good reviews online in addition to being affiliated with several universities that I knew of. There was also a decent amount of information available online from non-official sources, which gave me good information on living arrangements and general life as a student.
