Went through the first lesson of the Quenya course for the umpteenth time. It's just on rules of pronunciation and accentuation, but it's tediously technical. There are only 20 lessons though, so I figured I might as well get through them before finally moving on to Wheelock's Latin. The guy who wrote the lessons is really anal about pronunciation though. It doesn't help matters when he keeps pointing out that English doesn't have the equivalent of a particular sound. You see, the trouble is that I pick up pronunciation primarily by imitation. (I have a good ear!) There isn't really anyone to imitate in this case. So yeah, kind of frustrating to be still stuck at Lesson One. Did a bit of typing in camp, and now my right hand hurts. That sucks even more!
