What I need and probably most others is more cassettes or CDs created on the
Kilngon language. We need a "few experts" to record a few hours worth of
conversations. If you give me this, I know I'll be more confident during
conversation and five minutes will be cake. I can learn to read and write
Klingon all I want, but getting the correct sentence pronouncations is the
hard part. Oh, and I am aware and I have all the available audio resources
listed in the Klingon Language Institute, but we need more.
