The program as a whole was incredibly productive. KCP is very intensive, but if you do your homework and study and make an effort, you will learn SO fast.

—David

The everyday classes are the most interesting thing for me. KCP is a place where many cultures intersect, and learning how to talk about that intersection in Japanese (sharing your own culture and asking about others) is really fascinating.

All of the Saturday culture classes were satisfying because they each showcased a different side of Japan, like traditional side in Asakusa and the otaku side in Akihabara.

Going around the room forming sentences around the vocabulary on the smart screen was excellent practice in pronunciation and forcing ourselves to think quicker. Sensei asking about our home countries and hometowns (etc) was also helpful because we were already familiar with the topic, which just left describing it using the vocabulary.

The culture class for the US program was wonderful.

I thought being in a class full almost entirely of students that could not speak English was very helpful, as it forced me to communicate in Japanese in order to make friends.
