Welcome. You're not our only Finnish Klingon speaker: I'm sure some
listmembers will identify themselves to you. If you've been on the list for
a few weeks you'll know I'm Qov, the Beginners' Grammarian and my mission is
to help you learn tlhIngan Hol.

You've already figured out two very important ways to learn. Pay attention
other beginners: the 'over and over' is significant. Every time something
new you notice.
The other thing you need to do--not sure if it's easier, but it sure is more
interesting--is practise. Practise by posting to the list in Klingon and
reading the Klingon posts here. Practise by talking to your
pets/plants/spouse/co-workers in tlhIngan Hol. Practise by thinking to
yourself in tlhIngan Hol as you walk down the street.
Posting in Klingon will:
1. let you know if you understand the rules (because I'll tell you if you
haven't: mark your post with the letters "KLBC" in the subject line and that
puts my attention on it and holds off the nitpickers for a day or so), and
2. helps you to remember and internalize them.
