I liked the Speech contest as well, because it was fun to work with my classmates to come up with and practice our skit. Seeing the other classes’ skits was really cool!

It was great living with other students! It opened up so many opportunities, and I loved living in Tanashi.

As the speech representative from my class, it really helped boost my confidence to have my classmate’s support and to see them perform before my speech.

One of the most interesting aspect of the program was being in a classroom with students from across the world. This forced us to use Japanese and not rely on our native language. In addition to learning about the Japanese culture I was also able to learn a lot the cultures from China, Korea, Brazil, etc.

I found that group conversation was really helpful because it not only showed my weaknesses but also gave me an opportunity to improve my conversation.

I loved the dorm experience! Due to the fact that I was living with other people who are from where I am from. IT made it far easier to transition into Japan, because the dorm felt like a home away from home.

Prepare to learn a lot but also have a lot of fun. Don’t be afraid to reach out to support staff at KCP because all the staff were super friendly and helpful.

The group conversation practice allowed for students to get to know one another regardless of the fact that they did not speak the same language besides Japanese.

Taking field trips and talking to the university students were very helpful, productive, and fun.

I enjoyed the opportunity to explore outside of Tokyo as a class, while getting information about the sites we were visiting from the teachers and KCP staff.
