Lessons synonyms, lessons pronunciation, lessons translation, English dictionary definition of lessons. Something to be learned; a class; a teaching: The lesson is to look before you leap. Capturing lessons learned is not an activity limited to project closeout.It is a vital action that project teams should continually perform throughout a project's life cycle, using it to identify and implement improvements. This paper examines the three levels involved in capturing lessons learned. In doing so, it explains the significance of capturing and communicating the lessons. Sindarin lessons Sindarin is one of the two best known Elvish languages created by J.R.R Tolkien. This course contains the vocabulary that belongs with an online Sindarin course. All the translation credits go to the creator of that site. I very highly recommend that person's course, he/she wrote a book containing the known grammar.
Beta Version
This is a bare-bones set of lessons meant to give you the general idea of my approach to Sindarin. If you want to get in depth, read my book, 'A Fan's Guide to Neo-Sindarin.' If you want a deeper approach still, take the lessons that involve me correcting and commenting on your translations, which costs money because it takes up a LOT of my time and energy. But, if you just want a surface glimpse of Sindarin, this course is for you.
*Asterisks are used to mark fanmade words, but fan-made grammar isn't marked.
The dialect I'll use throughout the lessons is the Exilic dialect, because it's the best attested dialect.

About Editing
The broad-strokes editing is done! Now we're on the style/clarity/prose level of editing. This is the time for suggesting more illustrative examples, for making the sure the prose is easily readable and clear enough to get the information accross. It's not the time for spotting typos and spelling errors - those are for the last stage, and it's not time for broad, sweeping changes to the structure and grammar taught in the lessons - that was the previous stage. If you have any such suggestions, get back to the Realelvish contact page and send Dreamingfifi a message. If you're on the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord group you can suggest your changes there too.
