Fea I would suggest you ignore the introduction unless you really want to read it. All it really does is give you a lot of conflicting information about the history behind Quenya and then tells you none of it matters because the course is going to do it one way and one way only.

spawn - just wait til you get to plurals!

Skipping the introduction sounds like a fantastic idea to me... it downloaded to a length of 21 pages on my word processor, and I'm still only on page 8. I think I'll skim through the rest and the get straight on to Lesson One.

Good idea, Enca.

Wise position, Kath.

Plurals aren't as hard as Kath makes out. She just has to cope with school at the same time, making remembering a little harder for her.

Well, you heard spawn. Anybody having trouble, go pester her!

Oh, and spawn - as I said, lesson 1 is ridiculously long (it's like the intro all over again

). After that, they're a lot shorter.
