The culture class for the US program was wonderful.

Erin from 2013

I thought being in a class full almost entirely of students that could not speak English was very helpful, as it forced me to communicate in Japanese in order to make friends.

We all felt like a family. It's a nice environment.

Malia from 2013

I continue to learn the language, I continue to make new friends, I continue to find new, unfamiliar and exciting places and all of this was possible because I made the decision to learn at KCP.

It's difficult, it's fast paced, but in the end it pays off extraordinarily well.

Katie from 2013

Talking about issues concerning foreigners in Japan especially was helpful, as it prepared me for what to expect as a foreigner living in Japan. It also gave me a deeper understanding of the Japanese people and, as a result, the language that I’m studying.

I really enjoy all of the classes at KCP.

Alexandre from 2013

I really enjoyed the trips. I feel that being able to see something first hand is very different than reading or listening about it.

I was able to experience a small bit of more traditional Japanese culture and see the large difference of Japan’s geography from America’s.

Tess from 2013

KCP is a place where many cultures intersect, and learning how to talk about that intersection in Japanese (sharing your own culture and asking about others) is really fascinating.

If you want a challenge, then this program in definitely what you’re looking for. I came into the program with very basic knowledge of Japanese and am definitely excited about how much I have improved. Learning a language isn’t instant and it takes a while to sink in, but the longer you’re here you become more motivated to utilize what you learn and to continue to progress in your studies. And all of the instructors and office staff are some of the most friendly and approachable people I have ever met. They really make the whole experience quite enjoyable!
