Hey you guys,
I just found this page and thought it would be great to register

Firstly I have to say I'm german, so please overlook my mistakes

'cause school english isn't enough for writing here I think...
I'm 16 years old, female and I love the Lord of the Rings for a very long time. It started very early when I saw the books on my father's shelf and I was fascinated by the minute.
I read them again and again and the same I did with the Hobbit, the Silmarillion and other Tolkien books.
First I read them in german but I think the originals are much better, especially better than the newer translation which is really really bad. The worst thing I ever read so I stopped reading after a short time and read the originals.
I hope you understand what I'm writing and it's not too wrong but I'll do my best*promis*

Welcome Durfuiniel

I have to say, from reading your first post, your English is fantatstic, it quite puts my own stumbling attempts at German to shame.

Welcome to the forum Durfuiniel, I hope you enjoy your levels of death here.

P.S. about the English, I'm afraid you're probably better at it then me. I have a tendancy to make up words that don't even exist.

Welcome, Durfuiniel! Your English sounds good to me! Hope you enjoy death in its various stages.

Cheers!

It's alright, you're not the only person here for whom English is a second language. We'll be able to understand what you mean. And your English may improve greatly posting around here. Mine certainly has, and English is my native language!

A very warm welcome to Durfuiniel!
