ghobe' ;)
As with any other language, at some point ya' gotta study.
The Klingon Dictionary (TKD) is a good enough start. Most of the best
started with just this. Keep a copy of the KLI's "Not in the Klingon
Dictionary" list for those words we seem to use here, tha can't
otherwise be found.
Try to build a basic vocabulary, choose words you have to use everyday.
Then (very important, I learned this late), make yourself a copy of
the verb and noun suffix & prefix matrixes.
Use the matrixes to apply context to your chosen vocabulary, and
grammar to your phrases.
