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

Kotoba day was a great extra-curricular challenge

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

I liked freeform conversation the most; it was nice that the teachers were happy to occasionally break away from the textbook and talk about other things; little jokes and facts are helpful.

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

I actually enjoyed the tests, it's good that they were small and frequent

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

Get ahead of the class as much as possible! Use flashcards and pick up your own vocabulary in your own time, don't let everything be spoonfed to you.

Testimonials

I wanted to be in a major city in Japan and learn Japanese, and this program had good reviews online in addition to being affiliated with several universities that I knew of. There was also a decent amount of information available online from non-official sources, which gave me good information on living arrangements and general life as a student.
