The most interesting part of the program in my opinion was the session speaking with Japanese residents.

Every teacher is so friendly and willing to work with you!

Jack from Winter 2023

Games are easily the best way for me and other students to learn. But for me personally my one on one time with my teachers was the best way for me to learn.

I really suggest getting out of your comfort zone and trying things like drama club, or going to a conversation cafe.

James from Winter 2023

Be open to making friends from other countries! Before KCP I would have described myself as a “home-body” and an introvert, but when I really pushed myself, I became much more outgoing and I was always looking to do more in Japan.

Games were enjoyable and helped solidify certain aspects of the language.

PATRICK from Winter 2023

Learning the language is only a part of understanding it. Being able to learn about the world the language came from really helps you understand it.

The most productive aspect is talking to the senseis.

The moment you fall behind try to immediately catch up. It is too easy to let work pile up.

Testimonials

Choosing KCP was largely to do with the ease of application. A lot of other summer courses required a lot of paperwork and recommendations and transcripts that are a big pain to gather. But KCP’s application process was very easy and self-explanatory! Also, the student life photos looked interesting!
