I think the in-depth explanations of the nuances of Kanji and grammar helped the most for me.

Reading club gave me an opportunity to work on reading comprehension, which was an area I was severely lacking going into the program.

Kiran from Fall 2024

The high school exchange event was very interesting and it was very fun to talk to high schoolers and see what they were interested in about the outside world.

Just hanging out on the second floor where I’m able to talk with students and teachers, work out problems and even help other students was very productive and interesting.

In any case where a new grammar point was used and explained by the teacher in class, it would often stick. Then as teachers use these new points outside of class in conversation, these new points usually lock in quite strongly.

I feel like the most productive aspects were the example conversations and breaking down the pieces within them.

Most interesting was practicing speaking with teachers, or with locals who visited from the university.

Liam from Summer Short-term 2024

Visit to the 防災館 was a good way to learn Japanese whilst also doing something fun (and learning something else too). Also I enjoyed speaking with the locals from the university.

Memorizing conversations greatly improved my Japanese speaking abilities.

I also really liked the voice acting section and would love more opportunities to do that as a class.

KCP International is a fun but different experience.

Logan from Summer Short-term 2024

Studying Japanese while being taught in Japanese is a lot different than studying while being taught in English, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad, after getting over brief culture shock, I had a really fun time at KCP International

I don’t think there was a single moment that wasn’t productive for me. There was something to learn from everything during my time in Japan. Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity!
