I feel like KCP has really helped solidify knowledge that I already had.

Riyoko from 2014

Also I think part of the strong foundation that KCP has given me comes from how fine tuned the teachers are. They pick on every slight mistake you make which really helped for me.

Kaiwa practice was useful.

Vinh from 2014

Always try to volunteer for Kaiwa during class. Even though its embarrassing, you will remember words and sentence structure better. If you stay quiet in class all the time, you will probably struggle. Senseis are very nice so go to them for help if you need it.

The games we played were fun and we learned at the same time.

グレゴリー from 2014

If you’re going to come here, study and take it seriously. If you slack off, the work will pile up and it will get harder to understand and catch up.

The program overall was very interesting to me.

Nicole from 2014

I found how the instructors related their explanations back to everyday life very valuable.

The dorm room is perfect for a single person, in my opinion.

Steffan from 2014

Our dorm manager was a very awesome guy who genuinely liked to help everyone out, and he went way above and beyond his responsibilities, hosting parties for the students and firework watching with plenty of food and drink provided. By far the best landlord to exist.

I found the Japanese-direct method of teaching interesting and productive.

Faiyad from 2014

Being immersed in the Japanese-only atmosphere of the classroom has helped advance my skills (especially in speaking) faster than at my home university.

The in class drill practices were helpful.

Dhairya from 2014

Being in a class full of students from around the world, learning about their various cultures, and being forced to use Japanese as means of communication were the most productive and interesting aspects.

The pair work and textbooks were really helpful.

Christopher from 2014

The most productive and challenging aspects of the program was interacting with different races of people in the classroom using only Japanese.

I am overwhelmingly pleased with the dorm.

Charles from 2014

While it is fairly far from the school, the dorm manager has been extremely kind and generous with all of us here, holding parties and interacting with us whenever we see him. No issues ever came up.

Testimonials

Because I am a huge fan of research and spreadsheets, I created an excel worksheet comparing numerous Japanese study abroad programs by cost, housing, length of study, and many other comparison points. Overall, KCP came out superior based on the amount of things that you get for the price. After completing the program, I can say choosing KCP was a perfect decision. KCP is a real school — professional teachers, strict grading systems, textbooks – the whole package. KCP proved to be much more than I expected – the classes are tough, but it taught me how to work harder, build a work ethic, and I am coming out with many rich experiences thanks to KCP. This school truly prepares you for higher levels and entrance into Japanese colleges.
