So you want to learn the Klingon language, heh?
1) Get a copy of The Klingon Dictionary by Marc Okrand. It's published
by Simon&Schuster....any bookstore will help you. Then READ IT AND READ
IT AND READ IT!. Its about $10. There are also two audio tapes available,
Power Klingon and Conversational Klingon. They too are put out by
Simon&Schuster. There are also two new products that will be out soon
if they aren't available already. One is a new book call
The Klingon Way: A Warriors Guide and the other is a CD-ROM
called KLINGON WARRIOR: Star Fleet Acadamy Holo-Simulation #1. Both are
Simon&Schuster productions.
Those outside of the USA can order the TKD, at cost, from
the KLI (see address below) and they will pay the shipping.
NOTE: The Klingon Dictionary is "dry reading" but VERY informative.
It will tell you 1000 times more than either of the audio tapes.
2) Join the Klingon Language mailing list. To subscribe send email to
[email protected]
In the BODY of the message write:
subscribe tlhIngan-Hol YourFirstName YourLastName
Leave the subject line blank.
You will be 1st sent the FAQ (Frequently Asked Question). READ IT!
3)Take the FREE (yes, its FREE) Klingon language postal course.
Send a SASE with enought postage for two onces to:
Klingon Language Course
PO BOX 37
Eagle ID 83616 USA
NOTE: This is NOT offered by e-mail to people in North America, However
if you are "overseas" what I need you to do is send me 7 International
Reply Coupons which you can get from you post office. They act as
international postage stamps that will allow me to send you all 11
lessons. Once you get them, we can do the postal course via e-mail.
NOTE: this is only for students NOT living in North America!
4)Join the Klingon Language Institute, to get info write to
KLI
PO box 634
Flourtown, PA 19031-0634 USA
The KLI publishes HolQeD, a quarterly journel about the Klingon Language.
You can check out their Web page at http://www.kli.org/
You can also check out some Klingon texts at the KLI ftp site
ftp.kli.org
5) Get all the back issues of HolQeD.
6) If there are any left order a copy of Hamlet (Klingon Translation)
from the KLI. They cost about $20 It has the English version on the left
page and it's Klingon translation on the right. You can use it to
practice translatiing to and from Klingon and then checking your work.
7) Never, ever, ever stop studying. To start learning, begin by writing
small simple sentences that you would use every day. Don't start by
trying to translate Shakespeare, it will only lead to frustration.
Hope it helps.
