Pair work helped a lot, especially with international students. It made me use only Japanese to communicate with them.

Josue from Summer Short-term 2025

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

Yamanashi Trip. It was nice to explore the countryside of Japan.

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

The most was having to use our Japanese in conversations with other international students. As for the least interesting and productive, there was nothing. Everything was productive and interesting for me.

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

Pair work helped a lot, especially with international students. It made me use only Japanese to communicate with them.

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

Make friends with the international students and hang out with them. It's really helps you use your Japanese.

Testimonials

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.
