I think in general the intensiveness of the program made me feel super productive.

I really appreciated how intensive the program was! It made me feel like I needed to study more, learn more and apply my Japanese more.

The most interesting aspect is the different ways in which the learning process takes place.

Néstor from Fall 2019

You will love Japan and it will be a hard goodbye once it ends, it happened to me. With that said, the hardest goodbye won’t be to the country, but to the people you will bond with. So make the best of it and cherish the moments.

Having a lot of Japanese run through your head is great.

Owen from Fall 2019

Class forces that. Basically cultivating conversational skills through 1 on 1 conversation is quite interesting to me.

Testimonials

KCP is a wonderful program for those looking to, 1) see their Japanese abilities exponentially grow, and 2) to experience the culture hands-on. It’s also a program for those who don’t simply seek to party either. The program’s rigorous and demands attention to your school work, health, and managing time in between. Basically, you live, eat, and breathe a Japanese lifestyle. It’s great.
