Speak Elvish in 30 Days!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A very user-friendly book. I imagine if one spends a month sifting through its pages, he or she will learn to speak and write Elvish with ease! Delivery was prompt, the book was in mint condition and the price was fair.
Wonderful guide to Middle earth tongues

this book is a wonderful guide to early beginners to Tolkien's languages. It covers sindarin and Quenya (elvish), and the few fragments of all the other languages. A wonderful if maybe short book for early beginners
~For the Interested Lord of the Rings Fan, it's perfect~

I know, you'll hear it's inaccurate, not up to date, and not "true" to Tolkien's works. I'm sure there are some mistakes in this book, but overall I think it's excellent. If you care enough that a few Elvish words are wrong, don't buy it, but if you want to learn to speak and write Elvish, if you like challanges, of you love Tolkien, and you want to have fun, by all means; buy this book. By the time I got home from the bookstore, I had conjugated 4 verbs into past, present, future, subjunctive, and imperitive, and was making a vocabulary list to study. I had a wonderful time, and hope that all the buyers of this book will enjoy it to it's fullest!
2 thumbs way way up!

The languages of Tolkien's Middle Earth is a great book. I was particularly impressed with the Elvish to English and English to Elvish dictionaries. It tells a lot about Tolkien and the early formations of his ideas. It's a worthwhile book.
