Hey everyone.

It's been a good while since the movie came out, but ever since seeing it I've been interested in learning Na'vi. Other life things got in the way, but it's at the point where I can hopefully get into it now. So I made this account to ask questions here, although I'll probably lurk mostly. (I intend to read as much as I can before I start asking questions.)

I've learned a little German in the past (in highschool), so I have a little experience in language learning. I know it'll take me a long while to get any good at it, but I'm ready to take it nice and easy. :P

Welcome to the forums. By all means, lurk and study until negyä txe'lan lu teya! :) However, if I may offer, there is so much more to be gained by discussing items on the forum. Post sentences you're working on translating, try out different sentences and grammatical constructions, experiment and have fun. Learning by yourself will just wear you out and slow your progress. Plus, this way others can learn as well! Don't be afraid to make mistakes, I made tons when I first joined the forum. Here's the first sentence I ever made for example:

Solyaw Ftiafpi lu oe

And here's how it should be:

Oeru fko syaw Ftiafpi

As Norm said, "slä zene fko nivume nìtxan".

In any case, zola'u nìprrte'!

Don't treat you like a noob. You're a newcomer. Newcomer and noob have different meanings. ;)

Enjoy learn Na'vi here.

Yeah, you're right. I know that most questions have been answered already, which is why I said that. But after studying what I have so far, I can tell verbs are going to be my biggest headache, and I don't think I can avoid asking questions about them.

I know. I can be a bit of a smart aleck sometimes; I wasn't putting myself down. :P

And irayo for the replies! :)

Everything can be learned with time and patience.  Ask questions as you have them.  As Tìtstewan mentioned, the "Learn Na'vi/Beginners" forum is the best place to start and also ask questions.  Many here will quickly answer them and show you examples for you to understand.  If you have a question you would rather ask privately, you can always PM (message) another member such as a karyu as well.

Also look on the main forum under the "Media" topics "click" if you haven't already.  Here you will find the dictionaries and other great learning material to download to help you start learning.
