Does anyone know some good sites or articles or something! where I can learn Quenya. I am really really wanting to learn a form of Elvish and I heard Quenya was the best.
Thanks:D

http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/ has tons of info on all of Tolkiens languages, and it has a course you can download on Quenyain
There is also a Quenya course getting started in the Guild of Tolkienology
and 'The Languages of Tolkiens Middle Earth' by Ruth Noel is a great book on the subject :)

In the back of The Lost Road, there is a nice collection of Elven words (Quenyan, Noldorin, etc). Although it is organized by the ancient Elven root (and therefore hard to navigate), it has a large number of words and their various forms and translations.

Thanks, I downloaded the lessons on Ardalambion. Do any of you know Quenya? (If so, how long did it take you to learn it?) I'm in no rush to be a "Elvish Speaker", just wondering how long it took others. :D

In the books, the Elves at Rivendell when they spoke, it was writting in English letters but spelled in Elvish... what language was that? Because when I was looking at 'Tengwar' and 'Quenya' and all that, it was in an entirely different lettering.

Oh gosh, i have a couple sites. Let's see.....ok here we go:
Tel'Mallen - The Circle (http://www.grey-company.org/Circle/index2.htm) Click "Language" This is sort of a mix of all of the Elven Languages though.
Quenya Translator (http://quenya.tripod.com/translator.htm) Is an English to Quenyan Translator
I know that Kementari has already posted this site but here is a link to a downloadable Quenyan course:
Quenya Course (http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/qcourse.htm)
Enjoy :)

Actually, Ruth Noel's 'information' is largely incorrect and outdated, and the book is not very accurate.
OMG, Walter, you recommended the book I always recommend! Curse you!! :D But it really is fabulous; I learnt to write the Tengwar from it.
