Learning Quenya - Discussion Thread

[vanwalossien]

I just made a post looking for a study mate, hope this will make me finish the course, which I left halfway through last time, due to having an insane French teacher, who made me think I had enough with three languages at school without a fourth at my spare time *sigh*

I've thought of an all-important question: what is the nationality of the guy who wrote this tutorial?

The Ardalambion course is made by Helge Fauskanger, the linguistical mastermind of the Norwegian Tolkien Union. It's a long time since I studied Quenya now, but I remember that I didn't have too much trouble with the pronounciation, probably because of this. And of course, as Helge says, Quenya is inspired by Finnish, a language that pronounces most letters the same way as Norwegian.
