Mae Govannen, Mellyn. Thanks, Pitchwife!
![]() I have a hard time with actual elvish speech! I can't quite grasp the grammar.

Anyway, have you been to Ardalambion? Helge Fauskanger has a whole Quenya course there, and IMHO he's quite good at explaining grammar without assuming that the reader knows a lot of linguistic terms to start with.

Welcome, Eruin!
We're all Tokien geeks here, to some extent, so feel at home! ![]() I think I've been through eight or so online courses of Sindarin and Quenya, and all of them have contradictive information. And neither really does the job. So don't worry about your elvish!

Hello. I am very new and I wanted to say hello. I have been a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien for years.

Greetings! I'm back, but I'll introduce myself properly, as I doubt many remember me:
Hi, I'm Finduilas, called Findy (when I'm too lazy to type the full name). I've been a Tolkien fan since a young age when my older brother read The Hobbit out-loud to our family. At age 10 I read The Lord of the Rings for the first time, and I've read it 7 times since (I have a habit of rereading books I like). I joined the Downs several years ago, and left as life got busy. Life has gotten busier, but I think I can handle it better. I was encouraged to join back up for the purpose of RPGing, but I'm sure I'll interact in other places.

Hello, Finduilas!
I don't believe I was active here myself when you were around, but welcome back!
