Because it's been 6 3/4 hours since I posted my answer and I haven't gotten a response yet and because I'm going to bed soon, this is my question if I am right on my last answer . I'm continuing this little Gondolin theme with:
The guards of which gate of Gondolin had: Quote:

Spyhill, Amon Ethir, was raised a league east of Nargothrond. It was here that Glaurung hypnotized/mesmerized/enchanted/ Nienor, erasing her memory.

Who and how did Sauron trick into betraying Barahir?

Gorlim Angrimson, one of Barahir`s twelve men in Dorthonion. Orcs came and slew them them all, save Beren, who was out spying. The cut off Barahir's ring hand, as proof of their success.

Yes, it was Gorlim who betrayed Barahir, but maybe I wasn't clear enough in my question when it concerns the how. Let me rephrase it: How did Sauron trick Gorlim into betraying Barahir? You have the following events down fine, but I wanted the events that caused it. You're halfway there, Celebriel.

He pretented to be Gorlim's wife and told him that if he were to betray Barahir he would be taken to her. Which happened by killing him.

Beren saw Luthien and she fled then he saw her again. I want to know in which season the visit came. (2 answers) (seasons-summer, fall, winter, spring)

It was in summer-time when he stumbled into Doriath, bent as if old and weary, and came upon the dancing Luthien. He saw her in autumn and in winter, then finally in the winter, when she released the bonds of winter, he cried 'Tinuviel' and came to her, and she loved him.

Correct and by releasing the bonds of winter it became spring.

Discuss the language of the Ainur and Valar - what is it called, and why/how is it used? What other means of communication do these celestial beings possess? What does this language have in common with the other languages of ME, and what are the differences?

Well I will start this by answering one part and work on the others. I believe they are able to communicate without words. Meaning with their thoughts they can hold council, just as they did after the darkening of Valinor when Feanor felt they were doing nothing.
I know it doesn't answer all, but again it's at least a start.

And a correct start, it is. ANd it's not five questions; rather, just one with a complete answer.

It's called Valarin, and I suppose it was used to communicate. What else could it be for? Valarin also seems to have influenced other languages in Arda, as Ardalambion points out:

Okay, name all who should be included in the dots between Beor the Old and Bregor on the geneology of the House of Beor in the back of the Silmarillion.
