Tests were the most helpful as they motivated me to study more and faster.

Use Anki, talk with your friends about how to study especially those who have been in level 4, and prepare to work hard to get good grades.

Study as much as you can, but don't be too hard on yourself.

Spencer from Spring 2023

I enjoyed the school trip to Chichibu because of the beautiful view of the flowers. I also enjoyed being able to make Kabuto as an activity for Children’s Day.

I found the pair work and tests to be the most helpful for keeping me on track as well as speaking the language.

Keegan from Spring 2023

For American beginners like me, using the English support sessions is a great way to become more familiar with new material and a good chance to ask any questions you might have.

Having quizzes everyday was best to keep me motivated.

Make sure you budget and actually study and not just complete the homework as "studying".

Maeve from Spring 2023

Try to get to know your teachers and classmates outside of class. You will have a more enriching studying experience with KCP if you do so.

I participated in every culture classes (except the manga/anime one) and I am very satisfied of each one!

Paradis from Spring 2023

The most productive and interesting would be the fact of hearing understandable Japanese (for our level) during the 3 hours class per day. It has definitely been a major point in my overall Japanese improvement.

I loved the Sadou club and learning about Japanese culture and history through a tea ceremony.

Milla from Spring 2023

Participate in class!!! It makes all the difference and the teachers will get to know you better. Also it is easier to make friends when you are active in class.

I do enjoy experiencing and learning about the culture.

PATRICK from Spring 2023

I’d say both parts of the culture course are equally valuable. Learning about history and seeing it in person are essential to understanding it.

Testimonials

KCP is a really great program and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about studying Japanese in Tokyo. Although intense the sense of achievement by the end of just two and a half months is huge.
