Do KCP students have chances to practice their Japanese outside of class?
Absolutely—there are many opportunities to practice your Japanese outside of class. The staff and faculty are always eager to get you to communicate in Japanese. Also important is the fact that English speaking students are a minority at KCP. Therefore, most of your classmates are from non-English speaking countries like South Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, or Malaysia. The only vehicular language is Japanese. Students have found that befriending their Asian counterparts is one of the best and most productive ways of practicing their Japanese outside of class. And most of these Asian students are genuinely interested in getting to know their American counterparts.
