No, no, I'm NOT teaching, I'm just a student. The Klingon course at
Koblenz is a - what on earth DO you call that in English? We call it a
"Seminar", which means that it is a course with an overall topic,
e.g. The Klingon Language, where every week one of the students is to speak
on some sub-topic, e.g. Klingon Nouns, Klingon Semantics, and the
professor normally doesn't talk much but just gives out the sub-topics.
It is a course of the department of computational linguistics.
