I say it is totally worth it!

Amanda from 2014

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

I absolutely loved travelling to Yamanashi prefecture with my classmates. I loved being able to travel outside Tokyo and learn more about Japan through that experience.

Which co-curriculum classes did you find most satisfying?

I loved the curry cooking class! I can't wait to cook curry for my friends and family back in America.

What were your goals in attending the KCP program?

My goals were to improve my Japanese and to make lasting relationships with people that share my passion with Japan.

Why did you select this program?

I selected this program because I did not see a single bad review anywhere on the internet. And when compared to other programs, this program had the most reasonable price. I am very happy that I chose this program.

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

I found the games most helpful, because it engaged our minds and made us learn in a fun way!

Any further thoughts or tips for those considering the program or new KCP students?

I say it is totally worth it! The things that I've learned, as well as the friendships that I've made with classmates are priceless. I am so thankful for this experience.

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.
