**All the Elves wither away, while the humans speaking Elvish wonder what's going on**
High-Elven isn't deemed a "useful language," so unfortunately schools see no reason to offer it. However, that doesn't mean you can't take a [url="http://"http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/qcourse.htm"]course[/url] on it. [If all you're looking for is a translation of Namárië, then [url="http://"http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/namarie.htm"]this[/url] will serve your purposes just fine.]

Ah, but do you have a course of Sindarin, or Grey Elven, if that helps?

I've never seen a course on Sindarin, nor any of Tolkien's other languages. However, I believe there's a rather good description of it on that site. Also, if you're interested, you might want to get a copy of The Languages of Middle Earth, by Ruth S. Noel. It's not 100% accurate, but it does make a handy reference.

In an unrelated note, there is a 100% chance you will read this post.
Pallas: People actually teach a class on Tolkien's High-Elven?

Not an actual class, but the author of that site wrote up a textbook on it. If you have the patience to read through it sometime, it's a good resource. I've got a pretty good grasp of basic Quenya grammar now, although I still don't have much of a vocabulary.

That's an online dictionary. There are a few around.
