I feel like the most productive aspects were the example conversations and breaking down the pieces within them.

Visit to the 防災館 was a good way to learn Japanese whilst also doing something fun (and learning something else too). Also I enjoyed speaking with the locals from the university.

I also really liked the voice acting section and would love more opportunities to do that as a class.

Studying Japanese while being taught in Japanese is a lot different than studying while being taught in English, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad, after getting over brief culture shock, I had a really fun time at KCP International

The Yamanashi field trip was very memorable because all the students in our program got closer through a greatly enriching experience which I remembered enjoying thoroughly!

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.

It was new for me, but now I value pronunciation and writing as much as the other skills. I can’t think of any negative or uninteresting aspects at the moment.

That was the section of the program during which I experienced the most rapid improvement in my Japanese. I also enjoyed being in the regular class with non English-speaking students, which was a great opportunity to practice casual Japanese.

I thought the outings were rather interesting because they provided us with some outside-of-the-classroom experience to places I may have not gone otherwise.

I also had the pleasure of participating in doing the omikoshi as well. The Japanese Culture Trips were also a great experience. Being able to participate in activities and events exclusive to Japan’s culture was a worthwhile experience.
