Don’t try to go everywhere all at once; it will wear you out and make studying harder.
Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?
I liked the excursions the cultural class had. It gave me a more in depth perspective of both the culture and the language of Japan. They were also really fun.
What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?
The fact that we were only allowed to speak Japanese helped me learn the vocabulary and grammar faster; as well as helped me make conversations. I would say, while I really like the class, we weren’t able to practice much from the conversation class outside of it. So it wasn’t very productive for me. However, I still have all of the papers from the class, so I’ll practice them more than I did there.
Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?
Don’t try to go everywhere all at once; it will wear you out and make studying harder. Also don’t be overwhelmed by everything. It might seem crazy at first, but daily life gets simpler and studying becomes easier if you stick to it.
