I have had such a wonderful time in Tokyo.

Yuna from 2013

I have found all of the culture classes interesting as Japanese culture is so different from English culture so learning about these differences has not only been fascinating but also useful for daily life in Japan.

Culture immersion allowed us to see Japan's past.

Ronnie from 2013

The full Japanese immersion taught me more than I could have thought possible. Though sometimes a little guidance was needed, it was easy to pick things up and continue living in Japan without any trouble.

Be prepared for a very different school experience.

Rebeka from 2013

Even if you have never studied Japanese before do not be afraid. Tokyo is very foreigner friendly and there are lots of other students here willing to help you out if you need it.

KCP provided the focus that I wanted.

Mary from 2013

Once you are able to make friends from your class and outside of your own country, it really helps you learn the language better when you’re forced to use it in order to have fun and communicate. It helps a lot in class and outside of class.

KCP is fast-paced but really fun.

Laura from 2013

I was really drawn to KCP because of the fact that the classes are completely taught in Japanese. Although it can be difficult at times, the teachers have been so good about getting their point across and trying their best to explain something. I absolutely love the direct approach!

The direct method really encourages you to think in Japanese.

Jennifer from 2013

If you can balance studiousness with some fun on the weekends or after school, then you will have the time of your life. KCP pushes you, but offers the best support system of any language school I have ever seen.

Testimonials

I wanted to be in a major city in Japan and learn Japanese, and this program had good reviews online in addition to being affiliated with several universities that I knew of. There was also a decent amount of information available online from non-official sources, which gave me good information on living arrangements and general life as a student.
