Definitely a good choice for anyone who is serious about learning Japanese thoroughly and at a fast pace.

Seamus from Fall 2014

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

I really enjoyed the Kanazawa trip, especially since it was not really a place a I would have traveled to on my own.

What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?

I mostly only participated in the general Japanese classes and US special studies class, so I can only speak for that. But I enjoyed them both. I also enjoyed the trip to Kanazawa.

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

Definitely a good choice for anyone who is serious about learning Japanese thoroughly and at a fast pace. 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.

If you want a challenge, then this program in definitely what you’re looking for. I came into the program with very basic knowledge of Japanese and am definitely excited about how much I have improved. Learning a language isn’t instant and it takes a while to sink in, but the longer you’re here you become more motivated to utilize what you learn and to continue to progress in your studies. And all of the instructors and office staff are some of the most friendly and approachable people I have ever met. They really make the whole experience quite enjoyable!
