The program throws us right into the Japanese language and living so we have the best chance at success. The staff is friendly and go above and beyond to help you understand class material, see how you are adjusting to life in Japan, and help you outside of class with anything you need.

I learned more in 3 months here than I did in probably the equivalent of 2 years in the US. All the teachers I have had thus far have been great, and the students are all nice and very self-motivated. It is a very good atmosphere.

Be prepared to work hard, and achieve results. You’ll be surprised at how much you improve when you apply yourself. KCP is here to be your partner in education. Have an open mind, heart, and be prepared to put the time in to become fluent.

The culture trip to Kanazawa and Gifu prefecture was the best trip, I thought.

The speech contest brought the class a lot closer together. I also really liked mixing in with the Asian students and getting to know them.

The most productive aspect of the program was living with a host family, because I was always practicing what I learn in class at home. And I believe that it has given me more confidence in speaking and not being worried about making mistakes.

Aside from the 100% Japanese classes themselves, I really enjoyed the cultural experiences (such as the tea ceremony). I ventured out a lot on my own, met many people, and have grown a lot because of it.

This program is a wonderful and comparatively cheap investment in a person’s future as they learn a new language, and meet new friends from far away places!

I enjoyed my experience here very much! If possible, I’d like to come back to KCP in the future, to continue my studies! My goal is to work in Japan, and pass JLPT 2, so KCP has been helpful to me as I work towards my goal!

I found the daily kanji quizzes to be helpful in learning kanji, since they forced me to actively study the kanji every day rather than just for a large test.
