Post Hello!
on: October 19, 2016 05:40
I discovered this site a little while ago. After using it to learn Sindarin and to find some funny pics. I finally decided to create an account because I would love to speak to others who share similar passions for Lord Of The Rings. Will warn everyone I'm not as knowledgeable in the books as the movies.

I look forward to meeting everyone,
F.D

Welcome, welcome, thrice welcome! My sincerest apologies for not greeting all you newbies sooner. I've been busy tinkering away in the smithy and didn't notice the new arrivals. This is a big place so it's easy to miss some visitors !

I hope you managed to get some help with the translation Foedhrass. Was the cosplay in Germany as well? Sounds like fun.

Welcome Femke. Don't forget to stop by Belgium on your way back from Spain. Although another language course might be needed to understand one another properly, depending on the region .

Don't worry Ambarad, your English is just fine. Most members here aren't native English speakers. Hope you like the resources we've got on the site for tengwar and Elvish!

Arveleg, I know how you feel. Luckily several of the new members seem to have posted multiple times already, so they got in again. We're aware of the issues but powerless to do much about them sadly. The Last Homely House is in its autumn-phase I fear.

Pleased to meet you as well fangirl.divided . Welcome on board.

Hello all, I'm Kannissa. I stumbled upon this site looking for ways to learn Sindarin, so hopefully I will get to around to that very soon! I love the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, books and movies, but I have yet to move onto the Silmarillion and the rest. I look forward to spending time here!
Even this darkness must pass.

Hello!!! My name is Jacob I was wandering around the interwebs looking for a way to learn Quenya and fortunately I have found this site! I hope to stay here a long time to begin and continue my studies of the Elvish tongue!"Elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo!" I hope I said that right! I took a previous classes online but I was not so fortunate with my memory as I had a recent concussion.

Mae govannen!

I'm a long-time user of the website and today it occurred to me that I would like to make an account so that I can actually talk to other Tolkien-ites! This will be a post-and-run right now but I'm eventually hoping to join the book club and start chatting to people (and maybe even roleplay a bit!)

Hello! I may have already introduced myself here, but if so, I can't remember doing it, because unfortunately I haven't been on this website for quite some time. But anyway, my Elvish name is Dinroswen Gwaithovornien Amdora, and I'm very interested in learning Elvish!. I've got the alphabet down mostly, but its the words et cetera that I'm worried about. Grammar and the likes, vocab. The thing is that I'm currently learning Latin right now and I'm not sure if it would work, learning two languages at once. But I might as well try!

Mae l'ovannen! This site came up a lot on my Sindarin translation Google searches, so I decided to join. I already know some Sindarin and I am looking forward to learning a lot more so I can put it in my fan fiction. I'm also thinking about learning Quenya in the near (or far) future...I don't know. But I like music, which is why I joined the Realm of Yavanna Kementari.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

I am in the Realm of Yavanna Kementari.

Hello! I recently registered on this site and I came here to introduce myself. My username is Archerofpeace but I usually go by Archer as my nickname online and in real life lol. Why Archer? Mostly because I actually do Archery in my free time and I have been since I was 14. I found this site when I was searching "how to learn elvish" on google. Nonetheless, I've always been interested in learning the Elvish language. Although I'm fluent in two languages (english and arabic) and I'm almost fluent in German after years of studying it, I've decided to learn the language I've always found beautiful and interesting which is one of the Elvish languages, Quenya. Although I am a university student that consistently has a busy schedule, I plan to set a bit of time out to learn this language. But overall, it's nice to meet you guys and I look forward to be apart of this nice community !

Hi, everyone! You can call me Felwyn. I discovered CoE when looking up printable stationary, since I've been writing letters to my cousin, who always uses nice paper. (I settled on the Council of Elrond envelope and the Fingon and Maedhros paper, as we have inside jokes.) My introduction to Tolkien was actually my cousin (the one I've been writing to) explaining the general plot when I was somewhere around 7-10, I think, but not much of it stuck. I think the real start was when I first read The Hobbit, around five years ago. I thought it was good, but wasn't terribly excited. Then, when the first movie came out, I reread the book and liked it better. I read LotR as well, liked it, reread it, really enjoyed it, and then read it again, and there was no turning back. I was obsessed. Sometime in here I saw the movies. I've also read The Silmarillion, and Tales from the Perilous Realm. I have also seen all the movies.

Welcome to CoE Felwyn. That's a rather unusual way of stumbling across our site, haven't heard that one yet . But all the better, the more the merrier! Enjoy.

I merged your posts Arveleg. You can always go and edit your individual posts if you have the posting issue you encountered. Much better than posting multiple times .

Hey evryone,

I'm a long time LOTR fan. LOTR has influenced me a lot, i'm largely interested in art and costume design. Its also given me an interest in medieval history which is also a big part of who I am. I just joined today and i'm looking forward to sharing my appreciation for the series.

Hey,
My Elven name is Lothriel, I am 20 years old and live in South Carolina.
I have read all the original books, plus as many extra as I could find such as the lost tales, the atlas, the similar ion.... I have also seen all the movies. I taught myself to read, write, and speak Sindarin a few years ago, have only recently found this site and I think it is awesome!! one of my favorite things to do is to ride my gelding, but I also enjoy kickboxing, archery, knife throwing, reading, and watching movies with my cat Mithril.
Hope to learn a lot, have fun, and meet some people!!!

Hi there AHobbitAtHeart and a big warm welcome. You've come to the right place to learn the Elvish languages. Get stuck in to the workbooks and don't be afraid to ask for help in the forum. Have fun.

Greetings! I came across this site yesterday to check out a poem on Beren and Luthien and immediately fell in love with the content of this site. I enjoy the songs and tales and also want to learn more about Quenya (I only grazed the surface with videos on Youtube!). I also practice a bit typography and like to write things in neat letters.
Anyway, I hope to meet many other great fans (there are not a lot in Taiwan) and have fun.

Hello Limwen and welcome to CoE. I hope you enjoy your stay here. There are some articles about the Silarillion on here and you can always ask questions on the Book Forum. It's not the easiest of reads but there are great stories in there. Say hello to Maxie for me.
