Teitho Edhellen! Syllabus After doing the main textbook, this was a piece of cake. I turned all of the Sindarin script lessons into a PDF workbook that you can download and print out. Thanks to a suggestion by Faravenel, I’m calling the language course “Gelio Edhellen!” and the script course
Textbook Re-write Complete
It’s 1AM, and I’m done. I did it. I finally fished the massive edit of the textbook. I made a few mistakes along the way… got eyes and ambition greater than my time or ability. Ended up having to cut some parts that I had a lot of fun making.
Semester Canceled
I’m really sorry to do this. I really didn’t want to. But, I’m looking at another depression episode. Parts of my wife’s family really disapprove of our relationship, which lead to some fights with them after her grandmother’s funeral. Then the election… ugh. I’ve been reminded again that people irrationally
Class on Hold for Funeral
I’ve got a funeral to go to at the end of the month for a grandma-in-law, I’m stressing out over it a bit, and can’t really get anything done for a few weeks. I’ve amended the calendar to reflect the changes to our schedule.

Interlinear Glosses
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.
