One of the cool things that this book writing project has caused is that there is a WordPress pluggin for writing interlinear glosses! What are those? It’s best to show you: “I might kill you.” This will let me teach Sindarin syntax much more effectively! This is just one of
Fall 2016 New Class Full Again, and Book Progress
That didn’t take long, did it? Once again – If you’re a returning student, you’re free to register again without worrying about taking someone else’s place. The 15 person limit is for new students only. Progress on making the textbook print ready is going a little slower than I’d like.
More Spots for Fall 2016 Semester Open!
Since so many of the next semester’s registration list are returning students, I decided to have them on a separate list. This means that if you’re a former student, you can re-register without worrying about taking the chance to start the class from someone else, or ending up on a
New PM System
In one week, we’ll been switching over to a new PM system for turning in homework. The one installed right now is no longer being updated, and therefore is getting more and more buggy. So, Saturday next week, I’ll be installing a new system. This means that all messages, uploads,

Class Progress Report – 12th Week
This week is Chapter 5.1. Most of the students are now graduated to being Intermediate students (you can see if you’re on the list here)! This lesson, most people had a pretty easy time with the plural forms. The ones that caused some confusion was the Archaic versus later Sindarin
Class Progress Report – 11th Week
Only a handful of people have attempted chapter 4.2, but most have opted out. That’s my fault, as I fell behind in homework correcting and that meant people were rushed this week. Very, very few errors. The errors that I’ve found were more like simple spelling errors or typos. A
Class Progress Report – 10th Week
No one else dropped out this week! Chapter 4.1 is quite simple, and a good chance for people to review old material. This assignment took people longer than other assignments, but there were a lot fewer errors in it, even though the translations were quite complex. I think it’s because
