The Kabuki show, tea ceremony, and Kamakura trip were all amazing.

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

The Kamakura trip with the American program was amazing. Being able to do conversation practice with Shishido sensei and Tsujioka sensei was great.

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

The explanation of new vocab from the Kanji textbook every day in class. It was great listening practice, and helped us learn how the new words "fit" into the Japanese language, rather than just memorizing new sounds.

What did you find most valuable in the Culture Course?

The Kabuki show, tea ceremony, and Kamakura trip were all amazing.

KCP is a wonderful program for those looking to, 1) see their Japanese abilities exponentially grow, and 2) to experience the culture hands-on. It’s also a program for those who don’t simply seek to party either. The program’s rigorous and demands attention to your school work, health, and managing time in between. Basically, you live, eat, and breathe a Japanese lifestyle. It’s great.
