Study abroad at one of our historic partner universities.
Armed with English and Spanish,
your world will expand.

There are many bright students in the Spanish course and it is a fun learning environment. I was able to obtain not only the Spanish exam, but also the DELE, the official, globally recognized Spanish language certification exam, and improve my TOEIC® score to 720. I think the ability to study both English and Spanish is a unique feature of KIFL. My most memorable experience was studying abroad at our partner university in Spain, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, founded in 1495, where I participated in a two-week program. The classes where I learned about Spanish history and language from the local faculty were very fresh and exciting. After school, I looked forward to walking around the city with my friends and having dinner with my host family every day. There were times when I felt a connection with Japan even in distant Spain, such as when the daughter of my host family had studied abroad in Japan, or when we had a lively conversation about Chinese characters with an exchange student from Hong Kong. After graduating from KIFL, I would like to transfer to our sister school, Kanda University of International Studies, to further improve my Spanish skills.
