I think I struck what's known as a bad choice of words... I don't really
think it's tedious, more a bit of a struggle at the moment, because I'm
so busy at the moment I can't devote enough time to learning the language
to say I'm doing it properly. The result, I am learning slower than I
would hope for.
One day I hope I'll meet a real Klingon and be able to talk to him/her! :)
