Finding a balance between study and exploration is key to getting the most out of your time here.

Bryan from Winter 2025

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

The trip to Hakone was fun because I really like experiencing all parts of Japan.

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

I enjoyed and benefited from the activities surrounding thinking in Japanese.

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

For grammar, hearing explanations in class was most helpful. Otherwise, the kanji textbook was very helpful for self-study at home.

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

I chose this program because of its well-favored reviews on various sites as well as the intensity provided by the classes. I looked for a challenge and KCP certainly provided that for me.
