It's lin-AI-wen, the ai is pronounced as German, (English 'eye'), the rest is straightforward, I think. I think the ae is Sindarin.
Janny- Jan rhyming with pan Ny rhyming with me |

That's with a German soft J, right? Everyone English pronounces it with a hard J. That's so annoying!

Don't mind the incorrectness. I'm still in my first year. Fun language though. Most of it's cognates, YAY! EDIT: Opps...Qui means what doesn't it?

Ich komme aus England, aber ich mag Deutschland so viel.
Janny, der in das Bild ist, kommt aus Flughafen Munchen; ein Geschenk von meine Eltern.

If a gathering of people define themselves as a secret society and a lot of other people know about them shouldnt it be called a secretive society then?

Ach ja, ich kann mich daran erinnern. Nicht viele Leute lernen heutzutage noch Deutsch. Ich würde es auch nicht tun - viel zu schwer.

Doch! Deutsch ist leicht! (But I know I make loads of mistakes!) It's really similar to English, especially old English.
I'm only writing in English because my vocabulary lacks in many places!

Zum erste, glaube ich, das ich einen 'du' bin! (If that's even comprehendable!)
Ist das so 'vroom' wie 'warum'? Warum, weil es leicht ist! Wie habe ich gesagt, ich kann mit meiner Schwester und Mutter deutsch sprechen...
