I have to write a letter to the exam committee to make a request for an extra exam for one of the subjects I failed, and I was wondering if this sentence is correct:
"Following the advice of my mentor, and after having consulted my student counsellor, I have decided to make an appeal to the exam committee."
Is this okay?
I've never had to use the word "appeal" in this way before in the 20 or so years I've been speaking English XD
So far, my absolute favourite comedy is "Summer Time Machine Blues".
The plot is kind of absurd (a sci-fi club that knows nothing about sci-fi, travels back in time to save the remote control of the clubhouse's airco), but it's AMAZING and really funny. There are also a lot of time travel references from other movies (like "Back to the Future").

(trailer, which does not do the movie justice at all)
You can actually see the whole movie on youtube :0
Another movie I think is great is "Survive Style 5+". It's a pretty dark comedy but it's interesting how all the stories intertwine.... and it's stylish as heck!
I can't say much else about it... but it has Vinnie Jones and Tadanobu Asano in it!

And I'm looking forward to seeing 鍵泥棒のメソッド！

So, what comedies do you like? :D
I was wondering, is there an expression for "slice-of-life" in Japanese?
The dictionary says it's "人生の一片", is that true? Or are there other ways of saying it?
どう日本語を勉強しますか？
たとえば、自分で勉強しますか？
それとも、授業で勉強しますか？オンラインの先生がいますか？先生はどんな人ですか？優しいですか？＾＾
何テキストを使いますか？その他？
私、４年ぐらい自分で勉強しましたが、腱鞘炎であまりはかどりませんでした。
あの時、"Genki"を使いました。そして、漫画とかライトノベルとか雑誌も読みました。
日本のテレビも見ました。
今度、オンラインの個人指導を探しました。地元の授業はとても高いですので、オンラインの授業を探すと思っていました。
初めてのオンラインのクラスは来週です！少し怖いですwww
それより、今度、ペンパルとメールします。
もちろん、日本語のメディアを使うことが続くつもりです。
では、あなたは？
