Hi, I’m from the Netherlands and I started attending the regular course programme as of April 2015. Anyways, I have been travelling for a while now and no matter where you are on this world, it’s the people that make everything worthwhile. It’s not my first time spending a long period of time abroad as I have studied in Taiwan for about a year, after which I just travelled throughout East-Asia for about another year after which I returned to Europe. But seeing as I couldn’t get the travel bug out of my system I decided to make Japan my next new experience. And what an experience it has been.

Studying at KICL is a blast, the classes are interesting and they have a lot of variety. Maybe I just lucked out but the classmates I had during the first semester were just all sorts of amazing. Every single one of them has a unique personality and a personal drive to actually achieve something while they are here. With motivations ranging from entering Japanese universities, entering the Japanese workforce to absorbing Japanese culture and studying for the sake of studying; you won’t find any slackers over at KICL! We laughed, we sweat and we cried together, ohoh, and did we cry during all those wonderful tests and exams... Make no mistake, at this school you WILL work hard so do not expect a nice long holiday when you are here. This is a school where you will actually study!

Yes, you will get worked hard d(^.^)




















But we also had fun projects such as making posters based on a chosen topic regarding Kyoto’s culture. Who could ever forget those great afternoons we stayed at school after class to make our posters, filled with laughter and languages other than Japanese…*ahem* f(^^;)
There are also field trips to various famous spots such as the Kiyomizudera Temple and Kodaiji-Temple as well as cultural activities such as tea ceremonies, Japanese confectionary workshops and Japanese handcrafts.


Immerse yourself in Japanese culture!

















The teachers are just as colorful as the classmates, each with their own views on life and distinct teaching styles. To make sure you get to experience the full package you get three teachers during the semester for the morning classes, which are the regular courses such as speaking, listening, writing and reading. The afternoon classes are filled with elective courses ranging from cultural activities to reading newspapers and JLPT preparatory classes, there is something for everyone!
The staff members at the office are just wonderful; they help out with any problems you might bump into while living in Japan, including everyday problems such as ward office registration, garbage disposal, moving to a new apartment etc.  So don’t fret it, when something’s up, just go to the office, everyone’s eager to help!

The best things in life are the people we love, the places we’ve been to and the memories we’ve made along the way. We don’t meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our path for a reason. In the end I am very glad I took the step and came over here to KICL. Thank you all for the great memories and I wish you all the best in achieving your dreams. May we meet again!



Spring 2015 Shokyuu 2A no minna-san, arigatou gozaimashita!
