Requesting Phrasebook

Hello,
I am trying to learn Klingon. I have a copy of all of the
classic materials for learning Klingon (those including THE
KLINGON DICTIONARY, as well as the two casettes, CONVERSATIONAL
KLINGON and POWER KLINGON).
However, there is something that I need in order to
successfully learn the language that appears not to be
availiable from any of these two sources. I need a
phrasebook.
THE KLINGON DICTIONARY is inadequate for this purpose,
because it truly appears to be a dictioanry, not a textbook,
and not a phrasebook. It is clearly more suited for
reference than for anything else.
On the other hand, the casette, CONVERSATIONAL KLINGON,
has phrases in it, in an order that might be very helpful
for me to learn ... only I can't use it as a phrase book,
nor as a source from which to construct one, for a simple
reason. It contains absolutely *no* information on how
to *write down* the transliterated Klingon.
I have developed a system that I can use to aid myself
in learning languages ... but one thing that this system
REQUIRES is a phrasebook.
Is there anyone who can help me find this necessary
material for the Klingon language?
