The only reason to learn it is to read German literature the way it's meant to be. Don't visit Germany, either. I'd never waste a trip to this shithole. There is literally nothing to do here that you can't do anywhere else for cheaper.
not if your an ardent philosophist since most modern philosophical literature came from the deutschlandicks. -

2018-11-30 at 8:32 PM UTCI doubt you want to learn a fictional language, but I'd recommend at least glancing at an elvish tongue of Tolkien's. I'm told they're fascinating for their craftsmanship from the perspective of someone literate in linguistics.

Apparently Quenya (I don't know why I remember this) is pretty irregular in its application of prefixes/suffixes and whatnot. There are also different dialects and even a formal version of the language. Pretty cool to invent a language that has intricacies and annoyances usually only found in real languages.
What else do you know about the language? I only remember what I saw from some youtube video a while ago. -

He was a linguist by profession, and it's often been argued that his undertaking in every book he wrote is more or less lexical masturbation. I'm not bilingual at all, so I can only be of limited help on this subject. What I can tell you is that Tolkien was not a fan of modernity, so if you want to speak Quenya/Sindarin in a way that's meaningful to your life, you'd probably have to fashion some creative substitutions to represent things like trains, planes, escalators, etc.
That said, I can point you in the direction of Ardalambion, which I'm told is an exhaustive resource for learning elvish and bits of other, less complete languages that Tolkien invented. If you click on the link for Quenya and scroll down to the section titled "The Structure of Quenya: A Brief Survey" you'll see its various elements explained clearly and concisely. -

Do you think Quenya has sufficient vocabulary to describe how rock hard my cock is right now? That link is an absolute goldmine of brain sex. I love it, thanks for posting.
Have you considered studying Elvish? It's pretty fucking nerdy but you enjoy LOTR, so who gives a fuck. I bet you'd really enjoy being fluent in Quenya. If you ever decide to study it, let me know and I'll study some too so we can converse and talk mad shit on people in public.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-12-01 at 12:18 AM UTCI'm half your age and I'm fluent in English, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Italian, French, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, some African dialects of German, and Hakka.
I don't get how you're so dumb you're incapable of learning even ONE other language. -

Tolkien was a bit of a prude, so that's one we'll have to construct by hand. Going off this dictionary I found, you might like sarnatulwë which translates to something like "pillar of stone" or sarquatirin, which I translate as "tall tower of flesh".
I would absolutely consider studying elvish. I had bad experiences learning second languages in public schools and haven't seriously attempted it since high school as a result, but I've always meant to delve into this aspect of Tolkien's work which I otherwise thoroughly enjoy. Let me know if you start learning it and I'll do my best to keep up! -

This translation satisfies me greatly. So it is true then. Elvish does have the vocabulary to describe my rock hard cock.
What in school turned you off from learning languages? I've definitely had a few teachers who were just unbearable. I think it's important to find teachers who are of the ethnicity of the language. I've had white Spanish teachers before and ended up dropping a class after one teacher took off points for using words the class didn't know. I thought it would be an easy grade, considering I'm fluent, but the class was only infuriating.
Although my last Chinese teacher was pretty shit. She was too Chinese. Kept telling us to study harder. It was like her only advice. Plus her English was shit (my other teacher mastered in English) so some of my questions would get completely misunderstood and I'd eventually just give up on trying to get her to explain it. -

This wasn't a bad idea back then, as money laundering was not illegal in Israel at the time. Its a young country, and it wasn't until Russians came over that money laundering, and if I'm not mistaken,human trafficking, became illegal.
