Nah, that Dutch edition is safe. Too old to get interested in learning a new language. However, if your copy is in English, BEWARE!!!

Off course you get one! *runs to the cupboard in the kitchen, takes one nice tasty Belgian chocolate bar, runs back upstairs, crams it into the computer, makes it virtual and sends it over*
 Tengwar's coming along slowly, I'm starting to recognize some of the symbols. But I'm still three phases away from actually writing something down. Quote:

Thanks, Radagast The Brown
And how did your bar mitzvah (sp?) go? What a special day - hope it was nice. Yes, I really dove in, didn't I? But there's so many interesting topics that it's hard to resist My laundry has suffered, though... Thanks, Sween I like Christmas, too. It's getting close! Don't worry about spelling, just keep posting I hope to see you more often on the threads I hang out in (mostly ME forum and Sil).

Thanks, Eärniel - yum!
And I found out, strangely enough, that the actual WRITING of the characters is what really helped me to learn them. I don't know if it was just pulling it into a physical, vs. wholly mental, area that helped, but it sure did. Maybe it will work for you. But I think learning English and Quenya at the same time would be really difficult - I know I would be totally confused. Good luck!

Yes, writing them does help me too to learn them, well at least that's the way it went when I learned the dwarf runes. But I want to be sure that I use the tengwar the way Tolkien used them, so I plan on reading the part about writing Tengwar in LOTR as soon as I can at least tell them apart and afterwards I'm going to look at Letters how the great man himself used them. As soon as I got there, I'm moving to the writing stuff.
Maybe I should have put that in the tengwar thread... Oh well...

Congratulations, R*an!
Entmoot rcoks . . . oh, do have fun with that laundry, please, your Elf Lord-liness! (note: I put this post in this thread on purpose: This, for anyone who cares, is my 1000th post! Figured it'd be on topic here. )

Put it on the shelf for a few years, let it age a bit, and try again - you might come to like it in a new way. I'll try to comment some more on the CSL thread on the areas that I really like, and why, if you're interested. I'm glad you're over there, I really like discussing his works with other people.And thanks for the congrats!!

Thanks, Menelvagor! I'm really looking forward to seeing your writing
re my title - do you feel that way, too?

Ms. Undomial - thanks for the congrats!
Let me just say quickly here that in the Tengwar thread in the ME forum you will find lots of info - links, references to books, etc. I gotta run now, so can't give you more details at this point - let me know by PM or a post here or the Tengwar thread if you found what you needed. YAY! Another Tengwar person!! I hope you have a scanner and can share some of your stuff with us.

Thanks, Elenka!
Argh! I knew I would forget some people! Believe me, horse people, I had intended to put you guys in here. I had been thinking of the various people that I wanted to mention in the days before my 500th post, and you guys were definitely in the group. But in posts like this, you are absolutely fated to forget someone, and I forgot the horse thread when I actually sat down to write the post. Sorry! I'll amend my post.

Argh AGAIN! Apparently I hit the post length limit - it wouldn't let me add all this. But this is what I tried to put in:
The Horses thread - where we discuss all the joys of being around the most beautiful animal in all creation (IMHO ) - everything from shovelling muck to winning ribbons in a tough class! It's been great sharing with Elenka, Erawyn, Shadowfax, ArwenEvenstar, LadyMelia, Iron Parrot, Duddun, and Azalea - the only people who really understand why, after having been kicked, bitten, stepped on, thrown, etc., I still want to be around horses!Keep riding, guys! And kiss your horses for me, please, I miss them so much!
