Well, there are several options.  I know David Barron has a Klingon Postal 
Course he offers for free; you just have to pay the return postage.

You are also more than welcome to send anything you try to translate yourself 
to here. In fact, we have a kind of 'sub-list' (not the best word, but the 
only way I can think of to describe it) which is for beginning students like 
yourself to practice with one another via conversations.  A 'grammarian' is 
assigned to this group, to point out mistakes, offer solutions, and answer 
questions.  If you wish information on this group (which always have subject 
headers beginning with the letters KLBC or KBLC), send me private meail to me 
at either:

	[email protected] OR
	[email protected]

and I will send you information on it.  (I am the current grammarian for the 
beginner's conversations (which have been oddly quiet of late.  I think I will 
have to do soemthing about that... hm...).)

If you don't feel you are ready to try translating into Hol yet, I would 
practice translating what you see on this list.  I recommend that you stay 
away from anything subject lines beginning with either KBTP or KSRP until you 
are a little more profiecient, as these are advanced projects, and may confuse 
you.  Almost anything else coming off the list should be fairly easy to 
translate... and if it isn't, ask!  From what I have seen, most of us are 
downright delighted to help new people understand Hol! {{;)
