Might not be a bad idea at that--though it is an extreme solution if
you have no interest in learning German.
The first foreign language I studied was Spanish and while it is
supposed to be one the easiest for an English-speaking person to learn,
I found it to be more difficult than German or Russian. The reason for
this was that I had no idea what all the grammatical constuctions being
discussed were in English.
I agree that an official textbook with an appropriate amount of examples
and a thorough discussion of the grammar point being learned is needed.
I am not a professional linguist and am only just getting started in
Klingon, however, I have a great deal of experience as a language
student and I would be honered to give my time, suggestions, and
whatever support I can to the one willing to begin such a project. Any
takers?
