FAQsTESTIMONIALS
In general, I think the KCP program is really great and I’m very glad I decided to do it. It was a lot of work, but I learned a lot, met many interesting people from all over the world, and got to have a very different experience of Japan than the normal tourist.
—Marc Kwiatkowski
Pair work was very helpful to me, since it took some of the pressure off of going one by one around the room in front of the class, or even the anxiety of raising a hand to ask the sensei a question. Though there were quite a lot of tests, I felt they were helpful as well.
—Sarah Zakrzewski

It’s tough but taught me more in the end.
Read moreThe most productive aspects is KCP being an all Japanese speaking school. Of course, there are times when you need something to be translated into your own language, but for the most part, that is what helped me most in understanding Japanese. Most school don’t do that, and I think that’s what sets KCP apart from other as well as it being an immersive and intensive program that gives little to no break in the curriculum. It’s tough but taught me more in the end. For me, there was no “least interesting or productive time”. There was always something I had to do; studying or going out to study. And every lesson is meaningful towards Japanese and the culture of Japan within its language.
Enjoy every moment in Japan. Don't be shy - teachers and other students are super friendly and helpful. It's your chance to learn not only about Japan but also about other cultures.
Read moreClasses were productive and interesting. I learned not only about Japanese culture but also about Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese, and American culture. It was interesting to communicate with different cultures and to learn something new.
