Please note that Conversational Klingon and Power Klingon have
the langauge well pronounced by Marc Okrand, while The Klingon
Way has the langauge sometimes pronounced acceptably and
sometimes hacked really badly by two actors who don't speak the
langauge. They get points for trying and some of what they say
is pretty good, but especially some of what Michael Dorn utters
on that tape is painful for many of us to listen to.
As for The Klingon Way, read the book. Get the tape for
amusement, but the book is much better.
