Dante from Winter 2026

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

Enoshima was great. It was a nice excursion to someplace out of Tokyo and I got to experience Japanese culture with the guidance of the teachers.

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

The most productive and interesting was the conversation and grammar practice. The least interesting was writing kanji. Reading was very interesting though.

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

The conversation practice. The workbook. The conversation tests.

Any suggestions for improving class activities or materials?

I hope there could be more free form conversation practice versus repeating the dialogue.

What did you find most valuable in the Culture Course?

The safety museum was so useful for me living in Japan.

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

Testimonials

Because I am a huge fan of research and spreadsheets, I created an excel worksheet comparing numerous Japanese study abroad programs by cost, housing, length of study, and many other comparison points. Overall, KCP came out superior based on the amount of things that you get for the price. After completing the program, I can say choosing KCP was a perfect decision. KCP is a real school — professional teachers, strict grading systems, textbooks – the whole package. KCP proved to be much more than I expected – the classes are tough, but it taught me how to work harder, build a work ethic, and I am coming out with many rich experiences thanks to KCP. This school truly prepares you for higher levels and entrance into Japanese colleges.
