jIQochbe'. This is a wonderful idea.

I decided to post every working day. I have not really kept it up
because work has been quite busy. Now that work is winding down
(briefly, I am sure), I am going to try again. This is certainly not
necessary for everyone - I am probably more fanatical than most.

Even less is fine - one sentence makes a fine post. Qov is always ready
to correct, and I am sure she would prefer one good sentence to several
no so good ones. Always try to expand your abilities, but understand
your limits today as well.

charghwI' is right - when you write, you will get better. And I know
everyone here likes reading the good Klingon messages that are posted.
Do your part, even it if is only a small one. A well written beginner's
message brings a smile to the face of all the skilled Klingonists
reading it.
