... LotR fans (I fit in all three categories! ). I was browsing the Net and came across this site. It is dedicated to the study of Tolkien's invented languages (most notably Quenya and Sindarin), with several Quenya poems written after Tolkien's death, discussions on various languages of Middleearth and - a Quenya course. So, if anyone here counts themselves into one (or all) of these three categories, you can download the course and teach yourself a new language (it's relatively simple and doesn't take as long to learn as most of our current languages, "weeks or even days rather than months" as the author of the course puts it). Anyone interested, bored or crazy enough to try?
