I am Qov, this list's current Beginners' Grammarian and my volunteer duty is
to help out beginners, from absolutely zero knowledge, if that's where you are.

}I have the dictionary and thats about it for now.. 

Some of us on this list learned with *just* the dictionary.  Many of us
learned with just the dictionary and this list.  You have the resources you
need.

Klingon Postal Course

Created by Dave Barron and intended as a supplement to The Klingon
Dictionary, the Postal Course introduces students to the vocabulary and
grammar of <tlhIngan Hol> (Klingon language), building comprehension and
familiarity as they progress through an eleven-lesson series. To enroll,
send a self-addressed, stamped (adequate for two ounces) legal-size envelope
to: 
Klingon Postal Course
P.O. Box 37
Eagle, ID 83616 USA 

I recommend you pick up the dictionary and go through the grammar, one
section at a time. For each section, make some examples that use the rules
explained there, and post them and any questions to this list.  Start your
subject line with the letters KLBC, then we will know that it is a
beginner's contribution.  I will look them over and make sure you do
understand, and other people will hold of commenting until I have, to reduce
the confusion.

There are lots of beginners like yourself on the list.  Feel free to skip
the posts that you don't understand.  Eventually you will be able to read
them all.
