Misunderstandings is the theme for June, suggested by AcrosstheTallGreenRiver.
Between strangers, they can lead to hostility, between friends they can lead to quarrells. And it's so easy to misunderstand someone's words, actions or intentions...
Different races or cultures can be a sourse of misunderstandings as well, as a certain word or gesture can have a different meaning for them. Such misunderstanding can happen at the royal court of Gondor, for example, with the ambassadors from other land, but also in the Shire while enjoying the hospitality of Hobbits: Bringing a present to a birthday party, instead of expecting to get it? Faux pas indeed!

Teitho: *Songs* winners
The theme for June and July is Songs. Thanks to Shire Rose for the suggestion!
Songs have been used since language was invented, and for a wide variety of reasons. Some songs preserve history, or make it easier to remember a list. A love song can melt our hearts, while a battle song can stir us to action. Others are cautionary tales, and some are purely for entertainment.
There is no end to the ways that songs can be used. Perhaps a Gondorian farmer sings to himself to help keep a steady rhythm as he harvests his grain. Sailors from Dol Amroth might sing a chanty together as they hoist the sails at the start of a journey up the Anduin, to h
Teitho: *Customs* winners
Our theme for May and June is Customs. They are defined as cultural ideas — a patterned way of behaving that is considered characteristic of a social system. Customs regulate social interactions. Do you shake hands, bow or kiss when greeting someone?
Customs or traditions are unwritten ways of doing things, handed down from one generation to another. They vary from society to society and differences in customs can create confusion, unintentional faux pas or even conflict.
How do customs figure in Tolkien’s work? The Hobbits have a custom of giving gifts on their birthdays, rather than receiving them. Faramir and his men take a
