Does anyone know any particular sites or links that i could find Tolkien's vocabularies about elvish,dwarven languages etc? i'm really interested and search engines dont do the job and of course bookstores just don't have them so if anyone knows a link i would be grateful.

I would certainly recommend Ardalambion (http://www.uib.no/people/hnohf/)! It has thorough information about the languages Tolkien created. A basic knowledge of a language is needed to be able to work with a dictionary (also provided on that site).

Example: barad means "tower", but in plural it becomes beraid, which you probably won't find in a dictionary. Next to the rules of plural-formation, there's the rules of mutation, which may alter consonants. A basic understanding is required to put a dictionary to its use.

If you have some linguistical knowledge, I would recommend the courses that are provided on that site. Both the Quenya and the Sindarin course are not easy, but provide a lot of insight.

Go to www.councilofelrond.com and click on the languages link on the left.  It's pretty helpful and indepth.
