The most productive was the amount of extra effort the teachers were willing to go for the students who wanted to do extra assignments.

Jordan from Summer Short 2016

I was the most satisfied with the school field trip to Yamanashi Prefecture. The scenery was beautiful and the peaches were delicious. Also, it was one of the few times I was able to go explore Japan since I had so much homework.

I overall encourage it. It's an eye-opening, albeit intense, experience that provided me with a lot of insight into the Japanese habits and way of life.

Stefan from Summer Short 2016

The most productive & interesting: in class time was always fast-paced and interesting thanks to my instructors Okada sensei, Sato sensei, and Tanaka sensei.

KCP is definitely an effective program if you want to improve your Japanese and are willing to put in the time and effort that they expect. For those with some knowledge of Japanese already.

Charles from Summer Short 2016

I liked the trip to Yamanashi the most. It provided a very different view of Japan compared to Tokyo. The village, shrine, and individual experiences were all very great to experience.

While the work load is definitely difficult, the results and experiences are well worth it.

Anthony from Summer Short 2016

The most interesting aspect of this program was being placed in a class with many other students of diverse backgrounds–everyone in a classroom must rely on Japanese to communicate.

Drill practice was good as it helped me better remember grammar structure, vocabulary, and kanji.

Kayleigh from Summer Short 2016

I really liked visiting Hosei University to visit and interview other college students. Everyone was very nice and I genuinely had a great time. It wasn’t awkward and the tour around the main campus buildings was fun. I liked seeing college life in Japan.

I really enjoyed the events where we were able to meet with Japanese people and converse with them.

Derrick from Summer Short 2016

KCP is a great program because of what it has currently. Great teachers, with a good curriculum, allows for a superior learning opportunity and is the main reason why KCP’s students are great at Japanese.

It was really eye opening to see the passion in a Japanese workplace.

Aileen from Summer Short 2016

It was fascinating to get an inside look on how a rigorous company in Japan works from day to night to day again, along with the methods and messages that need to be passed from department to department in order to get the perfect story out for the rest of Japan to know about as soon as possible.

The speech contest is always fun!

The dorm manager and other residents were very kind.

Thank you for a great experience!

Sophia from Spring 2016

Learning in depth from the Japanese perspective about their own culture was the best because you could see the pride and joy each teacher had sharing their knowledge and nation’s history with foreigners.

At first I thought KCP was too good to be true because I could not find a single negative review anywhere. Every comment I found was positive. Turns out there’s a very good reason for this 🙂
