Everyone says they will do it, and not a lot actually do (myself included) but I believe you should work as hard as you can before coming here. Some people have no problem but KCP can be a rude awakening for the less diligent students. That being said, for those with a goal and the heart to succeed, this school will give its all to you and take your Japanese to another level.

The BBQ event along with the Kanazawa trip after midterm tests were very nice events. They allowed the students to mingle with the teachers and with each other despite being in different classes.

Well for those considering the program of they’re thinking about going then it would be a good idea to memorize hiragana and katakana as well as start writing out some kanji before coming.

All of my teachers were wonderful and kept class fun and engaging while we learned a great deal. If your goals are to improve your Japanese, learn more about Japanese society, and enjoy doing it, I think that KCP is an excellent choice for a study abroad program.

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.
