Elvish! / J.R.R Tolkien / LOTR (sorta) Questions.

So I watched LOTR for the millionth time, but finally decided I wanted to learn Elvish, I googled it. Here was my expressions:
:D = (: = |: = :/ = DDD;

I knew it'd be confusing, but not this hard. I tried writing my name in Elvish, which started to hurt my head after a while, with all the vowel going over and under and all that and with the different types of Elvish, it gets worse. But I refuse to give up! I will learn it....somehow, some day!

LOTR sparked a few creative thoughts in my mind throughout the process of watching it and until today I never really focused on Tolkien. Shameful, I agree. I also bought my friend the map of Middle Earth for Christmas. (:

1. Have you tried learning (or know) Elvish?
2. How did you find it?
3. Where your expressions similar to mine?
4. How did you go about learning it?
5. What's your opinion of LOTR/J.R.R Tolkien?


Merry Christmas!
