Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Certification Test Woes
Thanks, Robyn!
My biggest roadblock to learning more is time. Plus, with the KLI
qep'a' now decoupled from WorldCon, it is a lot more expensive for me to
attend.

There is a copy of the word list and an outline of the knowledge requirements at http://klingonska.org/klcp.html
At the moment TKD is the principle study material but I am actively working on a course that will eventually be on the KLI website.
I don't have a timeline yet for when it will be ready, but I will need beta testers. The sight of discouraged beginners at qep'a' has long distressed me. I want to see the number of test takers AND the pass rate go up for the KLCP.
I appreciate everyone's comments. I had heard the "suffix number" issue before. I have to count on my fingers to find the actual numbers myself. And it's quite a chunk of vocabulary to have to swallow in order to call yourself a "beginner," but definitely not impossible.

Where can the word list and other study material for the certification tests be found?

To anyone who has taken, studied for or marked a first level certification test:
What are the hardest and easiest parts? I don’t want to know any specific questions on the test, but I’m assuming learning the vocabulary has been the hardest, because the grammar in proportion is quite light.
What did you wish you had studied more the first time? What do you wish someone had explained to you? Any other comments on the test or material that had to be studied for it?
In Earthlings, one of the participants is seen to mutter, “What is the Klingon word for fail.” The director swore to e that he did not set that up, that the participant said it unprompted while studying, but I notice now that luj is not in the 500 beginner words list. Did you study generally, or prepare specifically for the test?
