KCP is wonderful thanks to the office staff and teachers.

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

The group sessions and the associated field trips were my favorite part of the course the high speed review was extremely helpful before going into normal classes. The Hakone trip was a lot of fun.

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

The home stay was the most productive in terms of improving my speaking and listening. I feel like more activities that encourage friendships between students of different nationalities may aid Japanese skill acquisition and retention.

Any further thoughts or tips for those considering the program or new KCP students?

If you want to improve your conversational skills don't hang out with people who speak your language.

Any other comments or suggestions?

Nope KCP is wonderful thanks to the office staff and teachers.

I’d say that the two weeks we got as Summer Short Term students before starting the actual Summer Term with the international students helped a lot. It prepared me for the intensity and structure of the program. I’d say the structure of the program and every day classes were very helpful in advancing my Japanese skills. Switching from some review and practice with my peers, to dictation, to kanji, etc, was engaging. I just think the intensity and structure of the program was ideal, at least for me.
