英知　= てるあき？ One of my penpals told me their name is てるあき. When I asked how to write it in kanji, he told me it's 英知 , but I can't find any readings in my dictionary for these kanji that would make it てるあき... I don't want to be rude to my penpal, so I thought I'd ask you guys :) Do the kanji really make up that name?

Trying something in Japanese From what I know, if you want to say something like "I will try (to eat) ramen", you can write it as: ラーメンを食べてみます。 But how do you say something like "I'm trying to teach myself how to cook" ? Despite using google, I haven't been able to find an answer to this yet. If you can help me out, I'd be really greatful :)

Is this sentence correct?

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

What is your favourite Japanese comedy film?

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!

"slice-of-life"

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?

What are some good books for learning Hindi? (self study) I want to start teaching myself Hindi. But because where I live I can't get any Hindi textbooks at the store, I have to order them online. This means I probably won't be able to have a look at them before buying... So, I was wondering, what books have you tried and which did you like best? My goal is to eventually be able to speak, listen, read and write the language at an intermediate level. Thanks in advance!
