If you meant inspire, Sindarin is mainly derived from Welsh (so it will be very similar to Gaelic) and the main inspiration for Quenya is Finnish. Welcome to PT btw.

And here was I thinking it was ALL the same. I've got this programme on my computer that teaches Scottish Gaelic. Fun. But I'm learning Latin at the moment, so it's on hold. So is Quenya.

Welcome to PT Rivergone!

Try this site for learning Quenya: Ardalambion

I've found it to be quite helpful.

Grondy merely turned the above into a link.

i have posted this somewhere, but i cant remember where, but there are these 2 amazing sites that i refer to all the time, if im stumped with something;

Interactive Elvish

and

Learn to Write in Elvish in 10 Minutes

Does anyone like it???

Thank You !

In my country pupils start to learn English from the beginning of our ground-school, they start the in 1.grade the year they are 6.

Later in primary school being in 4.grade, being 10, some pupils are offered a third language, depending on the teachers competence. Most pupils start their third language in secondary school, being 14. They usually then learn German, Spanish or in some cases french.

A grandson of mine has a special mind. Part of it is dedicated to J.R.R.T. I bet he has read 90% of what is published of Tolkien. To the point; he's been told that somewhere in our country it should be possible to learn Elvish. Although both his mother and grandfather sympathize with his thinking, he'll have to stay home for some years still.

Been told of some interesting links Loss have pointed out, there might now be a chance he can learn on the net, maybe we don't have to sit on him after all.

i am glad that i could help so many people, i have learning to write elvish for a while now, although i write English words with the elvish letters, but i no longer need the translator to help me to remember the letters. I'm glad that i could help

You have all the links you need to get you started on all those things.
Elendae posted a link to Ardalambion. There you learn to write and speak Quenya (elvish) with English letters. (Download the Quenya course you find on the site.)

Elessar Loss’helin posted a link to
Learn to Write in Elvish in 10 Minutes Title, where you learn to write with elven letters.

Have fun!

I started the quenya course and have learned a little bit of tengwar, but I haven't had much time for it and have forgotten most of the Quenya I had learned.

Very cool song, but I think it's illegal to download it.

That is dependent on where you live, the time of day, and whether or not you look angry.

Back in the early sixties, I walked from one Uni dorm three blocks to another at about 10 PM with a six-shooter strapped in plain sight outside my coat. The campus police looked me over as they drove by and knew I was okay and was just obeying the law about not carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. Then it was still legal to carry, if in plain sight. Of course that could never happen in this day and age. I would have been spread eagled, read my rights, searched, and probably spent at least the next week in jail. Back then our nut cases used to be institutionalized, so most places anyone seen carrying a bow, sword or firearm was given the benefit of doubt as long as they showed no signs of aggression.

Sad times we live in now. (To get us back on the topic, and were I able to speak or even write in Elvish, I'd have put that last bit in Elvish.)

Another site I'd recommend besides Ardalambion is Parma Tyelpelassiva, the website of Thorsten Renk, an individual with a serious interest in Tolkien's languages. On his website, among other things like a plethora of informative articles on Elvish languages, he offers courses in Quenya (available in German, English, Italian, Russian, Spanish, and French), Sindarin (available in English, German, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and French), and Ad’naic (available in English and Polish). I would certainly recommend his website.

Hello everyone! I am new here, I am a Tolkien fan and I am trying to study the symbols and the archetypes in his stories. I've succeded to find and elven dictionary, so if anyone is interested just tell me your email address.

Thx Arath! I will check the site...I am still a beginner
And about the dictionary I was talking about...it is an elven phrase dictionary...if anyone interested...just tell me and I can send it to you...
Merry Christmas to everyone....c ya!

i'll recommend the ardalambion. i think there are some errors in the dictionary. for example in Sil it says the elvish translation of man is adan but there it says eden. just check it out and if i'm wrong signal me.

Happy New Year to everyone!!! Quel marth!

Anyone know a site where i can get materials on Khuzdul?

I checked ardalambion and downloaded the quenya courses. I did not find Khuzdul.

Hi Everyone!!

I have created my own Elven language and writing like tolkien. I consider it Sylvan or wood-elf variety of the dialect.
