So many new newbies right around Christmas. Welcome to CoE Yavanna93, Hadhien, P5awsome and FemGeek. Enjoy your memberships and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. For help about Elvish you might want to head over to the Language Forums, where you'll meet many other students of both Sindarin and Quenya.

Hi! You can call me Phoenix. I'm newly obsessed to LotR, and I'm really excited about all this, especially the fact that learning to speak Elvish is a thing.

Greetings, friends!
Name: Evalina, just Eva's fine.
Age: not dead yet; not yet thirty
Gender: Female.
Where are you from: Originally, just outside Chicago, but I move a lot. Currently in Texas, celebrating move #101.
How did you find CoE: Google! A friend of mine and I wanted to learn Elvish and re-read (or read, in my case) the whole book series.
What are your hobbies and interests? Writing, reading, crocheting, knitting, cooking, baking, spinning yarn, and dancing at random moments.
Have you read the 'Lord of the Rings' & 'The Hobbit' and/or seen the movies? Seen the movies; finally picked up a copy of the books at the local thrift store.
Do you have any questions about finding your way around CoE? Is there a way to download the whole of the language workbooks that I'm overlooking?

I'm really happy to be on this site!

Hi there Evalina, welcome to CoE!
You can't download them as a whole I think. So you'll just have to come back every day for more Elvish goodness .

Hello everyone!
I'm super excited to be a member of CoE! I signed up mostly for the Elvish courses. I'm currently studying Quenya and I hope to eventually learn Sindarin too! I absolutely love LOTR and the Hobbit. I've seen all the movies and I've read the Hobbit. Right now I'm reading the LOTR books! I'm also looking forward to joining the book club. Anyway thanks everyone and I'm glad to be here!
Namárië!

Hello everyone, i'm also a newbie on CoE. I have been a Tolkien fan for a long time and have read the books nd seen the movies over and over... Battle of the five armies has just come out here and i loved it. While watching i really wished i could understand the elfish bits and so i ended up here. Just finished my first lesson in Quenya, on to the next one

Hi! I'm sort of a newbie. I've used the sites language workbooks before and decided to make an account

Name: Stephanie Ritson
Age: 15
Location: United Kingdom
Gender: Female
How did you find CoE?: I found it through the language courses for Sindarin and Quenya
Hobbies and Interests: reading, writing, playing the guitar, singing, fanfiction
Have you read 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' and/or seen the movies?: I've seen all the movies out on DVD, just waiting for the last instalment of the hobbit. I've read The Hobbit and am currently on the first book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Do you have any questions about finding your way around CoE?: Could I possibly get a brief overview on how uploading and rating of Fanfiction works on CoE?

Thanks! I can't wait to be a part of this community

Welcome to CoE, Stephanie.

Could I possibly get a brief overview on how uploading and rating of Fanfiction works on CoE?


You will find all you need in the Fanfiction Submission Rules here and in the CoE Guide to Fanfiction Ratings here (at the very end of the long first post). If you have any questions that the links above do not answer, feel free to send me a PM.
Enjoy your membership!

p.s. - I currently have several submissions waiting to get published, so anything that gets sent within the next few days is likely to be a bit delayed in getting validated.

I am researching human language , as I can , and it matches closely with Elven . Though the spellings are somewhat different . I need to find words that I can break into syllables to find the meanings . Most of the words I encounter just perplex me , but still I am making progress .

Any more Dutch people on CoE? It would be nice to discuss things in Dutch.

Hey Nimmwen, check the Many Meetings forum in community, and if there is not already a thread you can make one.

Nimmwen, there surely are several other Dutch people (and Belgians!) on this site. It might be a good idea indeed to have a look in the Many Meetings forum. But keep in mind that there are only two languages allowed on this site, being English and Elvish. Any other language can only be used in the rare case it's necessary for the discussion at hand and with a clear translation. The reason for this rule is that we have too many members from all over the world on our site to allow them all to speak their own language and we wouldn't be able to moderate the discussions properly either. But nothing stops you from using Dutch in chat or through private messages .

Thanks PSK and gondolinian, i'll check out the Many Meetings forum. I wasnt planning on using Dutch on the site, i enjoy practising my english to much (and since my elvish isn't that good yet) But altough i think i understand the lessons well enough , it would be nice to discuss things without having to translate stuff all the time.

Thanks for all the help and good advice, everyone is so nice

Name: I'm Jack. You can't really shorten that.
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Where are you from (country/state)? I'm from the mysterious country of England
How did you find CoE? Um . . . I don't know, really.
What are your hobbies and interests? I love music. It's my favourite (favorite for Americans) thing in the world. Also I really like ice-skating - I don't go to a club or anything, I just love it .
Have you read the 'Lord of the Rings' & 'The Hobbit' and/or seen the movies? I have seen the theatrical versions more times than I can count, but I still haven't seen the extended edition!!
Do you have any questions about finding your way around CoE? Um . . . only that I can't really find the Accents and dots thread (that might not be it's actual name) so it's difficult for me to type accents and circums, etc.

p.s. I joined a while ago but only very briefly and I never did this thing. This is awesome though .

Mae Govannen,

My Name is Levaenen.
Since the first movie of LOTR was released, I've been a huge elf fan.
the race was everything I imagined elves to be. so it didn't took long to fall in love with the movies. I visited this forum many times before.

So I thought it's about time to make myself a member.

Cause after all, this is where every fan belongs

Mae govannen or hello for those who don't read sindarin

I am Lucas
For a few years now I have been interested in the art of linguistics and the nature of languages. At the time this new found knowledge came to me I was reading the beautiful works of the great Mr.Tolkien, and I found myself falling in love with elves. Their gracefulness and beauty ensnared me and I would sit there in awe of the elvish conversations and decided i wanted to be able to speak this way and escape the bonds that is the English language. After much searching i was lead here and after experiencing the kindness of its community and the seeing the vast collections of knowledge i believe it is time for me to introduce myself into the world of CoE

You certainly have a way with words, Lucas. Good luck with your language studies and welcome to the Council of Elrond!

A hearty welcome to all newcomers! Enjoy!
