I found everyday test is the most useful. As Japanese would get rusty if you don’t use it regularly.

Long Hei from Summer Short 2023

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

I found the tea ceremony the most interesting. It provided experience for foreign students about history that had been in a very long period. Even many local Japanese may not have the chance to experience that as well.

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

The most productive aspect is probably having 6 hours of lessons a day. It’s a bit tough but I actually enjoyed it the most as I am interested in learning Japanese. I didn’t really find anything is not interesting at all. Even though taking the train in the rush hour is though but I think that is also an unique experience that can happen only in Japan.

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

I found everyday test is the most useful. As Japanese would get rusty if you don’t use it regularly.

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.
