To new students I would say, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Even if you do not have enough or any vocabulary to get your question across.

Also I think part of the strong foundation that KCP has given me comes from how fine tuned the teachers are. They pick on every slight mistake you make which really helped for me.

Always try to volunteer for Kaiwa during class. Even though its embarrassing, you will remember words and sentence structure better. If you stay quiet in class all the time, you will probably struggle. Senseis are very nice so go to them for help if you need it.

The things that I’ve learned, as well as the friendships that I’ve made with classmates are priceless. I am so thankful for this experience.

If you’re going to come here, study and take it seriously. If you slack off, the work will pile up and it will get harder to understand and catch up.

I found how the instructors related their explanations back to everyday life very valuable.

Our dorm manager was a very awesome guy who genuinely liked to help everyone out, and he went way above and beyond his responsibilities, hosting parties for the students and firework watching with plenty of food and drink provided. By far the best landlord to exist.

Being immersed in the Japanese-only atmosphere of the classroom has helped advance my skills (especially in speaking) faster than at my home university.

Being in a class full of students from around the world, learning about their various cultures, and being forced to use Japanese as means of communication were the most productive and interesting aspects.

The most productive and challenging aspects of the program was interacting with different races of people in the classroom using only Japanese.
