i speak English, some German, being forced to learn Latin (and would you believe that i actually am learning some latin?? the horror!!!

), and attempting to learn Quenya and Sindarin.. lol!

oh yeah and i took Mandarin for 4 years in elementary school but all i can say now is 'hello', 'goodbye', 'thank you', and 'my name is Tang Bi Si (my chinese name)'. needless to say, i didn't like it very much!

I agree it may be hard for English speakers to pronounce Quenya correctly. But it's easier for me - Lithuanian

For help, try to translate some Quenya sentences (this must help):

I Istar tulta ulundo. I ulundo na umea ar mats i ruhtala ohtar.

Also, I hope we may try some talking in Quenya here in forums. This will help us polishing and improving our skills.

Maybe you should hold a petition for an quenyan part of entmoot, where you can only write in quenya to improve you skill. Or on the other hand just forget what I said...I just had a vision of the future, where every one of you speak nothing but Quenya and me with my poor language skills constantly having to ask, what did he say? what did she say? Naaahh...
