You might get more feedback on this in the languages forum.

I'm also curious. If you "know" Sindarin, how did you actually learn it? Was there a particular website or resource that helped you? I remember Aradalambion, for example, had a detailed course on Quenya, but a bit less on Sindarin.

And what level of expertise do you mean by "knowing" the language? To me,when a person says they "know" a language, it means they're very comfortable with it, inside and out.

Don't get me wrong. I do not "know" either Quenya or Sindarin, so whatever you've learned is a great deal more than I've mastered! People who learn one of Tolkien's languages definitely fascinate me, since I've never managed to do that, even though I've been familiar with the books for many years. I'd just like you to give us some background behind your question.
