Yeah, I gave up on Ardalambion as well; like Elwen, I finished most of it, but I'm not sure I fully understood it. I found the Parma Tyelpelassiva courses, too, and found those much nicer. And in comparison, COE is a good discussion forum, but I have run some basic comparisons and noticed some discrepancies... And Elwen's right in saying that the language isn't nearly complete enough to know all there is to know about it, although that would certainly be nice to be able to use... The book was good, but I have to say that some of it was more directed to linguists and such. And did anyone notice that he changed a translation? I was going through some old notes of mine and found the original from Tolkien, and that really surprised me... Oh wow Elwen... Like Ana said, I could never get up the guts to do that... I wouldn't feel nearly intelligent enough.... Nothing I have to ask in particular, though - maybe their opinions on Salo's book? Lol... That's something I would do - I get stuck writing business announcements and do that to people. I end up getting very strange reactions sometimes!! ~ Elbereth
