I was glad to have volunteered for a speech at Kotoba Day.

Charlie from Summer 2022

I liked all the extra small opportunities outside of main class – the random standardized testing (JPET, TTBJ), that gave me an idea of which JLPT level to aim for

The teacher's were extremely personal and truly showed how much they cared about each individual student.

Valentina from Summer 2022

I’m usually the type to learn quietly on my own, but things stuck better when I talked with students. Even embarrassing moments helped my improvement.

Pascal from Summer 2022

The teachers really try to support my growth or how to improve my weaknesses with additional work/supplemental books even though it will cause them additional work.

Do all of your research about the program and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Scott from Spring 2022

The teachers and KCP staff overall are there to help you. Make sure you research about the JLPT if you want to take it while you study.

Speaking more in Japanese from the beginning of level one may be difficult but will help a lot with our speed.

Abbigail from Fall 2021

The most interesting aspects would be the style of teaching by the teachers. After each level I feel very well rounded in each area of Japanese.

Take the course seriously as it is not easy, but very rewarding and you will get a lot out of it.

Alex from Fall 2021

Also try to make friends not just with your home country so you’re forced to practice Japanese outside of class.

Testimonials

KCP is a great school and you can learn a lot here if you put in the work. Expect to study a lot, and expect teachers to be strict when grading, especially in levels 1-4. There will be days when you don’t think you’re getting any better, but that’s usually because the classes are always going to be challenging. That’s a good thing.
