KCP is very intensive, but if you do your homework and study and make an effort, you will learn SO fast.

David from Winter 2023

You have to make an effort to study and do your homework to keep up, but it will be worth it and you won’t learn Japanese faster.

Testimonials

I’m a bargain shopper so I looked at a lot of different study abroad options in Japan before selecting KCP. I was slightly worried because I literally could not find any bad comments about KCP anywhere online, and that made me suspicious. … But the truth is, KCP is simply the best! I have no complaints at all. For anyone seriously interested in learning Japanese, KCP is fast-paced but really fun. I totally recommend it!
