KCP is very intensive, but if you do your homework and study and make an effort, you will learn SO fast.

David from Winter 2023

Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?

The Kamakura and DisneySea trips were fantastic, great experiences to have with my friends and teachers.

What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?

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.

What activities or materials did you find most helpful (e.g., pair work, drill practice, tests, small group sessions, textbooks, games)?

The Kanji textbook, and group/partner conversation practice.

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

You have to make an effort to study and do your homework to keep up, but it will be worth it and you won’t learn Japanese faster anywhere else.

I selected this program because I saw a favorable review for it in my Japanese club’s newsletter, and I had been looking for a study abroad in Tokyo. I also liked how inexpensive the program was and how the offered dormitories, which few other programs did.
