I found the tests and the drills the most helpful.

Emma from Summer 2023

The tests would help me realize what tiny mistakes I was making (a lot) and the drills helped me be able to craft more complex sentences.

I found the pair work, and the textbooks very helpful.

Jillian from Summer 2023

The pair work, so that we could use the concepts being taught in class, and the textbooks were good resources to clarify information and study for tests or just own our own, supplementarily.

Don’t be afraid to speak up! Everyone is learning.

Keira from Summer 2023

Being surrounded by students who speak other languages and having Japanese as our only common language made us all learn quicker!

What was interesting was how different Japanese teaching is to western teaching,

Venus from Summer 2023

I would say it was more engaging learning in the language you’re trying to learn.

Do what you want to do, even if you don’t have anyone to do it with.

Casey from Summer 2023

Make sure to keep on top of your work. For as hard as it is it’s not really that hard if you have a good enough handle on your abilities.

Study study study or you'll fall behind and it's super hard to catch up again!

Also, go out of your way to speak to fluent speakers and take advantage of your opportunity to get real practice.

Tests were the most helpful as they motivated me to study more and faster.

Alan from Spring 2023

Use Anki, talk with your friends about how to study especially those who have been in level 4, and prepare to work hard to get good grades.

Study as much as you can, but don't be too hard on yourself.

Spencer from Spring 2023

I enjoyed the school trip to Chichibu because of the beautiful view of the flowers. I also enjoyed being able to make Kabuto as an activity for Children’s Day.

Testimonials

If you’re looking for an intensive course, then KCP is the place to go! Although it was hard work, it was also a lot of fun and I’m very pleased with my current language skill – and I’ve only just finished Level 1! Going out with the class for a final dinner really showed me how much we’d learnt as we had no problems in conveying our feelings even though our only common language was Japanese. I’d come back in a heartbeat.
