>If I can do things like:

>tlhingan Hol vIjatlh vIghoj vIneH (I want to learn to speak Klingon) ?

The answer to your question is yes.  However, your question is wrong. :-)
{tlhIngan Hol vIjatlh vIghoj} does NOT mean "I learn to speak Klingon."
It can only mean "I speak Klingon; I learn it."

You might try {tlhIngan Hol vIjatlhmeH vIghoj}, or perhaps
{tlhIngan Hol vIlo'choHlaH}, or {tlhIngan Hol vIyajchoHlI'}.
Any of these may be followed by {vIneH}.
