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.

Don’t wait until it gets difficult to start studying.

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.

The most interesting part of the program in my opinion was the session speaking with Japanese residents.

Joseph from Winter 2023

The Yokohama class trip was fantastic and I wish there were more class excursions.

Junianna from Winter 2023

It was great having Japanese instruction and then being able to go out into Japan and put what we learned into practice in the real world.

Every teacher is so friendly and willing to work with you!

Jack from Winter 2023

Games are easily the best way for me and other students to learn. But for me personally my one on one time with my teachers was the best way for me to learn.

Testimonials

The textbooks and drill practice helped me study, the tests helped me figure out what I needed to study more. I often did small group study sessions outside of class as well, and those helped all involved, I believe.
