I highly recommend the program for those who are considering it.

May from Summer Short 2015

The class trip to Yamanashi at the beginning of the program was very enjoyable. It provided an opportunity for the students to bond and appreciate the beauty that Japan has to offer.

Participating in the KCP program was one of the best experiences I have ever had.

Shannon from Summer Short 2015

Going to class every day, and the workload, gave me a sense of what living in Japan would be like. I was able to learn Japanese daily, as well as have enough time in the day to study, and explore the country.

The speech contest was a demanding but fun experience that stretched my Japanese language capacities in new ways.

Joseph from Summer Short 2015

Class field-trips to cultural sites and Yamanashi Prefecture were satisfying because they give us a critical perspective on Japanese culture outside the classroom and outside Tokyo.

Shannon from Summer Short 2015

I really enjoyed the field trip during the group session to Yamanashi and the tea ceremony. Both of these events exposed me to Japanese culture, and allowed me to learn new vocabulary through experiencing it.

I really like the class set up.

Mallory from Summer Short 2015

KCP is NOT for people who want to come here to hang out in Tokyo and study a bit on the side.Its very intensive and requires a lot of work.But if you put in an effort you can get great results. Coming here has taught me so much about Japanese and about who i am, and it has been one of the best decisions i have ever made.

I enjoyed the trip to Yamanashi. It's an area that I wouldn't have thought of to visit before and it was really nice to get out of Tokyo for the day.

Sarah from Summer Short 2015

I thought the two week group session was a great way to have an intense review before the main classes started. While I didn’t enjoy the hours, I think having that much of concentrated Japanese studying really helped me improve.
