Tolkien discussion forums in other languages

Shadowfax · 02-02-2004, 05:23 AM

I wasn't exactly sure where to put this thread, so mods, feel free to move it if you think it belongs somewhere else.

This is my question: I know there are a lot of mooters who speak languages other than English, so I was wondering if there are other discussion forums like Entmoot that you go to that are carried out in different languages. Any that you recommend (or that you would recommend I stay away from)? I'm mostly looking for a French Tolkien discussion forum, but I'd love to hear of others in other languages that anyone has been to!

Also to the mods: I hope this won't fall under the advertising category, will it? At least I'm not meaning it to become that way!

I am aware of that, but the reason I opened a new thread was because I thought this was a more specific question: I don't really want to talk about languages in general, I'd like to know if anyone knows of other boards like Entmoot, but in langauges other than English.

Here is a french messageboard (not really specific to Tolkien) similar to Entmoot which has a Tolkien Forum - La Cour d'Obéron

Hope this helps. You can probably ask them for other French Tolkien Forums too. By the way - it doesn't seem to be that active. I haven't been there in about a year.

Does anyone know of any good German ones?

Elf Girl · 02-03-2004, 04:31 PM

Are there any Spanish ones? It would help me get a grip on Spanish in casual speech, I think, if I could read such a message board.

Elf Girl, you might try elfenomeno

Thanks everyone for your replies. JD, I checked out La Cour d'Obéron and it seems great for what I'm looking for right now. Thanks.

No problem. Glad I could help. I never posted in there - but I was reading some of the posts. It's funny - if you look at the movie thread - people say how they don't like the movies there. In the "Jackson doing the Hobbit" thread I remember seeing one person not wanting Jackson to do it because they felt he did a terrible job on Lord of the Rings.

There is German forum one on Tolkiens-Welt.de. I am one of moderators over there, so please be friendly when posting.
We have not as much trafic as the Entmoot. But we have a few guy's that know there stuff well enough.
