I'm going to give advice contrary to whatever everyone else is saying. Don't feel like you have to censor out the Sindarin immediately. Don't hack into your story to pull out anything that looks like it might not fly. Not until you finish it. If you censor yourself early on, worrying about what's already been written, you'll lose you initiative and start writing averagely. You don't want average.

Write what feels right for your story. Don't bother editing. Just let the story out. You can always edit later.

And ignore every single person that mumbles the words "you can't". What they mean to say is that they can't. They'll only cripple you with uncertainty if you listen.

And no. I'm not writing an epic. I'm writing a macabre pseudo-realist novel set in modern times. *shrug* I'm not ready for fantasy yet.

And above all, good luck!
