@@dmitriofficial3552 I think just makes Elvish easier to learn because of its grammatical rules, not because the words are the same. 2-ish years on though and I'm sure you no longer care or you've picked up some Elvish. As an older American with only 3 years of French in grade school, I can't seem to remember any of these words. I'm good at pronouncing them while reading but 5 minutes later I can't remember what i read.hahah

You meant "Elven". But the correct designation is "Elvish", instead. And "Elvish" has a broad meaning: it can designate all the Elvish languages (Quenya, Sindarin, Telerin, Doriathrin, Nandorin,...) as well as any of those languages.
Absolutely LOVE IT!!!!

There is no such language as "Elvish", just as there is no such language as "Chinese". Elves speak Quenya and/or Sindarin, just as the Chinese speak Mandarin or Cantonese. Which one is this?

oh come on... Do you see many examples who show us the perfect example for pronunciation in Sindarin ? Because they rarely speak that language in the movies, and outside the movie, very few people speak it. As there is technically no standardized Sindarin, he technically doesn't sound like a tourist at all. In fact, maybe his pronunciation is the best one out there.
