I am a huge fan. I really hope that Fuolingo puts Elvish up here soon. I will spend every waking minute on it if they do. Let me just point out that it is very incorrect to say, I want to learn elvish, because you would be disrespeful to the artful words, sayings and script by mixing them up. I know this is an old post, but I would like to chime in to say that I would also like to learn both Quenya and Sindarin.

For those willing to learn the Language, you should start by memorizing the vowels and consonants. This should be easy because they also sound like English. You should then try working on some words before moving to learn phrases. Since Quenya and Sindarin are the most common Elvish Languages, it is fitting that we discuss more of them.
Quenya has about 2, words in all, while Sindarin has about 1, words. While the least developed Telerin has words. These languages can be used to coin several prose texts and meaningful poetry. Here is a list you can follow for an easy understanding of Quenya.
However, Quenya has its own unique rules that are not peculiar to English. Learn and practice these rules, so you would get familiar with it. However, there are some rules that you should have in mind, and they should be constantly practiced so it would be a part of you.
Follow these steps, and you are on your way to speaking Elvish fluently. Whichever language you choose, you should be proficient in it, and that is what the list above would help you do. The answer to this depends on your personal preference. Elvish is quite similar to English. You just need to distinguish the differences and familiarize yourself with them. However, before you delve into learning Elvish, you should know that there are different dialects, so you can choose from that which you find easier.
This also depends on personal preference. To some people, Quenya is easier than Sindarin, while to some, it is the opposite. Neither of them is simpler than the other. The reason why people place them above each other is because of the language they speak normally. Irish and Welsh would find Sindarin easier because its ideas are similar to theirs.
However, Latin and Finnish students would rather opt for Quenya. Elvish is easy to learn if you are ready to learn. Regarding which dialect to pick, you should select that which interests you more. When you pick the language that interests you more, you would not get bored if you choose that which interests you more. If you are willing to go the extra mile, you can learn both. What it requires is practice and dedication, within a short time you would speak Elvish fluently.
One of the most popular platforms for you to learn languages is Duolingo. They make learning fun, educative, and free. The platform is designed like a game, and this has proven to be very effective. There is attest carried out on the platform, and results from this test are accepted in more than 2, colleges all over the world. There have been several investors in this already established platform. No, you cannot learn Elvish on Duolingo, and there are several reasons for this, though the language is a beautiful and historical one, there are some issues with learning the language on Duolingo.
When Tolkien created the language, he made them for his amusement. He did not make them to be learned or studied. So, the language as a limited vocabulary, even in The Lord of the Rings, some things were changes. This is a sign that the language is not yet completely established.
This is one of the reasons you cannot learn it on Duolingo. Most people teaching Elvish are only teaching the version of Tolkien. He has different conceptions of the language, and this makes it difficult to get the right thing. It gets even worse, the language can be split to Sindarin and Quenya.
Quenya has some documentation that would facilitate learning the language.
