If we want to expand the klingon language in all world, one of most
important points (in my opinion) are the children. They learn very quickly and
most of times they are very curious with the things. The music are one of the best
ways of learning, and I think I can give my contibution here. The children are
an opened book learning ev'rything round them .. why not klingon?
Our choirs (all kind) sing in different languages: portuguese (of course),
english, germany, latin, french, spanish etc. Klingon is quite different, but we can
do it. We can sing stories/adventures of klingons through the space, the conquer and
the victories. Most of children love their heros and the klingons can be one of
them!
Some time ago, someone wrote that he was teaching klingon to his son and
his child was understing ev'rything. Of course .. the children learns ev'rything
you teach them. It's absolutely natural. Neither a surprize nor unbelieveble.
If you teach klingon to children, they will learn klingon and will speak klingon
each other quite natural.

It's very interesting too. When you finished it, please, send it to me.
