Occupation: Student. High school (11th grade) possibly home-schooled next year

Location: North Carolina, US.

Pace: Steady pace. Not too quickly, but consistent. I'm already teaching myself Geometry.

Prior Knowledge: I made it to lesson 9 or 8. My vocabulary may be a little rusty.

Medium: PMs, AIM, MSN, or Email do just fine

Occupation: Full-time college student (junior); currently full-time bank employee till the end of August (when I head back to school).

Location: USA - Ohio/PA

Pace: Slowish, at least until the end of summer. What with having to sneak the 'Net at work and not having it at home, I won't have all that much time to relearn.

Prior Knowledge: I finished Helge's course about three years ago, but I've since forgotten most of what I learned. I was planning on starting back up, though.

Medium: PMs. Definitely. Though I suppose I could work through email. No IMs until I get back to school in fall, though.

I'm an oldster from around here - or at least my other username was (I was Eruhen in a past death) - and anything that we can do to reanimate the Language forum will be a Very Good Thing.

Later.

When will you be starting? You don't want to let the momentum slip away....

Well, the pairs that have already been formed have already started - it's meant to be more of a pair activity than a group activity. Kath and I have got through 4 lessons, spawn and Lhuna are learning, and Enca is back today so she can start with Fea soon. I've also sent out four PMs to potential pairs, so we may soon see 5 pairs of us.

I was waiting for the return of Enca to start a "Learning Quenya Discussion Thread" though, and that will be up within the week if not the day.

Funny, I was going to ask you the same thing. Sounds dandy to me!

This makes me feel special for some reason.

the guy who be short -

Sounds like you've been very busy! Maybe the pairs could post their progress every now and then to let others know how they're doing? I'm not studying myself but I'd like to hear how others are faring.

Good luck everyone!
