Is there/can there please be a discord group for Elfdict?

It would be nice to voicechat with people and ask for feedback that way :)

Hi Raichi,

This is a common ask and I certainly agree that Discord is a wonderfully powerful tool to bring people together. However, what I dislike with Discord is the fleeting nature of the conversation - it's a bit like a hallway conversation between you and whoever you happen to be with at the time.

This is where Parf Edhellen is useful, as a place where information is persisted and gathered over time, and searchable too. Examples of this are posts from Elaran posts and Röandil, though I can do a better job making threads searchable (it's on my todo list!)

That said, Elaran is the proprietor of a great Discord channel dedicated to Tolkien linguistics. The community maintains a notoriously high bar, so I strongly recommend it for those of you who would like to chat away about (or sometimes in!) Elvish: Vinyë Lambengolmor (Discord link).

I understand :) Thank you very much for the explanation and the information, it's very helpful! I joined Elaran's discord, it looks really good! I also noticed the site now has games to practice what I learned, that is really amazing and will really help me learn faster!
