If you want to learn Japanese go here
by: Thomas Wisniewski - United StatesProgram: Learn Japanese in Tokyo, Japan!Japanese is often considered one of the most difficult languages for native English speakers to learn. After studying it seriously for several years, while I agree with that assessment generally, I think taking the plunge and studying Japanese is one of the most rewarding challenges you can give yourself. It is a beautiful language that in many ways is completely different from English. Towards that end, if you have chosen to study Japanese seriously, I think KCP is the best choice for building a stron g foundation for your Japanese. KCP is incredibly rigorous, in the Beginner and Intermediate levels there is a lot of homework and class prep. But you will realize that that is what's necessary in order to learn Japanese. However you won't be trudging through all this on your own. KCP has an excellent faculty who do their best to best support and challenge you on your way to understanding Japanese. Also the English speaking support staff are always ready to help if you need a hand with anything from finding an English speaking doctor to navigating the visa process. I highly recommend KCP for anyone who really wants to learn Japanese
KCP is one of the most unforgettable and most influential experience of my life
by: Brittany Athan - United StatesProgram: Learn Japanese in Tokyo, Japan!I attended KCP International after my first year taking Japanese at university. In the beginning, I was nervous about attending a language school, but I ended up enjoying the program. I will say with full confidence that your Japanese will improve immensely. With the Summer short-term program, I could grasp conversational Japanese, and my skills are still utilized today. What sets KCP apart from other programs is its dedication to teaching its students and the fully immersive environment that it creates in the classroom. First, the textbook they use is completely in Japanese so you learn to think in Japanese, and you don't immediately associate it with an English equivalent word. Secondly, they give you a proficiency test a week or two after the program starts which makes it so you're comfortable at the level you were placed at. Lastly, your classmates usually come from all over the world, so the language your classmates share is Japanese. You will leave the program with new friends, new experiences, better conversational Japanese, and confidence in yourself. The people I met during KCP and the program truly unlocked my new chapter in life. I will always be thankful for this opportunity to study at KCP. So if you're on the fence about whether to choose this program for either the start of your language journey or to further improve your Japanese, then please choose KCP International.



An unforgettable experience, I think about it everyday.
by: Edmund Ma - United StatesProgram: Learn Japanese in Tokyo, Japan!I have made life long friends that I would have never expected. And besides staying in Tokyo I had the opportunity to travel to Hokkaido, Osaka, and Kyoto which has brought even more core memories for me to look back on everyday.

I really wanted to immerse myself in Japanese culture and learn the language. I had already visited Japan on a high school trip and fell in love with it. I knew I wanted to go back, but this time for a longer period of time.
