I'd love to learn Sindarin, and I do know a few phrases here and there, but I am studying A Level German and GCSE Spanish at school, and I really need to concentrate on then. I only started Spanish in September, but I am so rubbish it's untrue. And I just took a look at the Ardalambion website, and that block of text made me feel a bit apprehensive. I think I'll stick to learning simple phrases at the moment. Maybe I'll learn properly when I have more time on my hands...

Changing the subject slightly, there are some websites out there that you should watch out for if you want to learn 'real' elvish. Some are listed on the councilofelrond.com as ones that teach 'incorrect elvish'. I believe www.grey-company.org is one. Take a look at the list here.
