Aw, you'll never learn that way! ;) Stretch your wings; test the
waters! We're not looking for people to torture. We are all here
because we share an interest in (love for?) tlhIngan Hol, and if we can
assist you, then we are all stronger.

This is the name of one of our most esteemed participants. Some folks
here use Klingon names, some use English. I won't try to list names, for
fear of leaving out someone notable ;) but after a while it'll become
clear who's who.
I will point out the name of one person you should pay particular
attention to, as newcomers to our little family. He's ghunchu'wI', and
he currently holds the rotating position of "Beginner's Grammarian." As
you explore the language and questions arise, he should be your first
recourse for answers to your questions. The rest of us are here, of
course, but this bit of organization keeps the signal-to-noise ratio to
an acceptable level.
Welcome!
