  Not being even close to an expert on speaking Klingon, I usually describe 
glottal stops to people who haven't even begun learning as, "start to say 
the sound, the pretend someone punched you in the chest just hard enough to 
make you stop talking for a fraction of a second, then continue with the 
sound a little quieter" 

  If this is off, please tell me, because I'm doing "it" wrong. :)


Qapla!
