My fault. I should have included my english phrase that I wanted to say
underneath each line.
What I intended to say was "I write this journal so that I will become
excellent in progree with the Klingon Language."  I haven't fully read the
TKD yet because I only got it on Saturday and this week is essay week for my
university (groans).  I was attempting to make myself as clear as possible
by trying to thread words together as ably as I could.  This however didn't
happen.  Oh well, I do intend to get better, and I can definately tell you I
am better in Klingon so far than I was after 2 weeks of Ancient Greek (too
many different ways to say and write "the" and "he/she").

What I meant to say is "Speaking and writing clearly seems hard, but
perfection comes nearer certainly because of toil!"

Again I wanted to say: "I intend to learn the Klingon Language as soon as
possible.  My journal plays a [definate] great part in this."

Thanks in helping me learn this language :)
