Good idea for a study buddy system here... I'd love to work with someone!

English is my native tongue, and I have not yet started the workbook here, though I have done almost all of the lessons found in the Quetin i lambë eldaiva courses (http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/elvish/index.html)

...i did Helge's course on Ardalambion and just started "Quetin i lambë eldaiva" (i think it's more up-to-date), haven't started the workbook either...if you want me i'd really like us to pair up because i don't have where to practice my Quenya and im starting to loose my enthusiasm for the language so working with someone would be really great...

p.s. english is not my native language but i don't mind using it

I'd love to work on it together! I actually went and started the workbook today- other then memorizing a larger vocab (something I should have done anyways) it's really not that different from "Quetin". And, even better yet- I know where my 'quenya' notebook is now, so let's work on this thing together! (Conversations with another person are so much better then on your own, aren't they?)

ok, then i'll start the workbook too...but how would you like us to do this - should we use emails, PMs, skype?

p.s. yah, it's definitely much better when you have somebody to talk to and use the language.

I vote that we either use PM's or the chat system here (unless, are you on deviantArt by any chance? If so, that's an option...)

I've finished lesson 14, but my studybudy decided to take a break from quenya so I'm open. I'm more then willing to work with someone on an earlier lesson.

EDIT: Still available for those who are very serious about learning Quenya. (Mal)

Hello I'd need someone to study with, I'm a beginner but I have time to kill and am very eager to learn Quenya.

I have msn and shouldn't have any big problems with English (I'm Swedish)

EDIT: Did get some replies, but more never hurts (Mal)

Elarin and Eantylie,

I'd be glad to work with you both! However, I must warn you that I am attempting ScriptFrenzy this year, so at times I might be a tad slow. I don't want to loose the Quenya I've already learned, so do PM if you want to work together! (MSN/ICQ are both options for discussion)

Hello,

I'm quite new, just studying Quenya for a week - I've just finished lesson 10. My question might sound stupid, but what exactly is a "study buddy"? How will this work?

My tative language is German, but English will be fine as well.

Greetings from

Charodian, the idea with the study buddies is to help pair up people who'd like to study Quenya together with another student, just for something more personal than the general, public discussions in the forum.

Study buddies decide themselvs what to do - examples I know people have been doing is helping each other with lessons and exercises (often people have problems with different things), translating poetry and discussing those translations, playing Scrabble in Quenya, putting together extra exercises and/or vocabulary lists for each other, role playing in Quenya, chatting or writing e-mails to each other in Quenya.

I am a beginner at Quenya and would like a study buddy. I am starting lesson one in just a few minutes.

My native language is English (US) and one of my biggest obstacles that I can probably already foresee is that I have pronunciation difficulty (especially with being partially deaf and all even with all the speech therapy I had growing up I know there will be some complications).

Also, I do like poetry and do hope to eventually be able to write poetry in Quenya.

Hey! I would take a study buddy please! I know very little quenya (just started last week) Like I said, I know very little, I only did the first lesson so far, but I can speak teeny little things like "elen sila lumenna omentielvo. Ma manen natye?" (a star shines upon the hour of hour meeting. How are you?) But, I really do not know any more. Nanye ume mara. (I am not good). I switched over to this course, and am working on the vocabulary of lesson 1.

If anyone wants to be my study buddy, send me a message!! Thanks!!

Oh, and I speak english, and live in the states

EDIT: I have a buddy.

Mara áure!
I'm a Lord of the Rings nerd!(: And I'm trying to learn Quenya, but I can't really seem to get started and keep it up. So as a study buddy, I want someone who can help me with the language itself and who is dedicated enough that I won't be able to "forget" about studying.(;
I have a Skype and Yahoo messenger and email.
Thanks a lot!

Hi! I saw your post and wondered if you would like to be study buddies. I'm just starting Quenya, and I also love horses, crafting, and noveling, so if you want to be buddies, let me know. Thanks!!

hello everyone my elvish name is Amdeere and I am trying to learn elvish! I would love to have a study buddy to learn and cope with, so if anyone wants to be my study buddy please pm me! I am on lesson 3 and am the type of person that takes the time to master the lesson before moving on. Please only pm me if you are usually online, because i was recently paired up with someone who's never online. I live in the central time zone, and i am male. I would love to hear a reply!

Do I understand you correctly, that you've rushed through six lessons in one day? If so, I really would advise you to go slower, and make sure you understand (and memorize) the grammar of one lesson before you move on to the next.

If you have questions, you're always welcome to ask them in the Quenya discussion forum. You can also ask questions to the workbook moderators when you submit your exercise answers.

This is not to say it wouldn't be good to have a buddy as well, just to tell you that you don't need to wait for a buddy in order to ask the questions you have.

I am on lesson 4 (and counting) and I would like a study budy.
