Is Quenya easy to learn?
Learning Elvish is hard for most people. In addition to the challenges associated with learning any second language, there are also difficulties with the resources available for Tolkien’s dialects. Once you start learning Sindarin or Quenya, it won’t be easy to practice without other people who speak the languages.
Is Quenya easier than Sindarin?
Said that, Quenya is a bit difficult, Sindarin is a hell. The difficult part in Quenya are the declinations (if you’re a spanish/german/french speaker it won’t be so difficult, because we have also a lot of declinations in our languages) and in Sindarin are the mutations (there are very very very few in english).
Can Legolas speak Quenya?
Legolas definitely speaks Sindarin. I don’t think it’s likely he spoke Quenya. Quenya was mainly only spoken by the Noldorin elves, especially in the First Age. As Legolas isn’t Noldorin, and his grandfather Oropher held a strong anti-Noldor grudge until he died, I’d doubt that anyone would have taught Legolas Quenya.
