Learning Quenya - Discussion Thread

[the guy who be short]

Aiya vendi (ar Lúmen).

August is approaching, and the first poetry competition was set to begin on the 1st of September. However, the minimal requirement for being able to actually write in sentences or phrases is Lesson Five. As far as I know, only Kath and I have completed this.

There also only seem to be six of us - Kath, Enca, Fea, Lhuna, spawn and I - who are actively participating on this thread, and, presumably, actively learning Quenya. It would be foolish to start the poetry competition before at least most of us six have reached lesson five.

Long story short - do you all, and the four other people explicitly mentioned, feel that you will have got to lesson five by the first of september, with enough spare time to do some writing, or not? I'm widely anticipating a "no," so the competition could be set back a month to the First October

Thoughts? Comments? I'm interested to see how far other groups have got, and whether the four quieter people have started yet.

By the way - personal info here - I've just started writing my first Quenya poem. It will doubtless be full of horrendous grammatical errors which will later have to be rectified, but it's still really cool writing in Quenya.
