learning vocabulary

You don't have to actually *memorize* words in order to remember that one
exists. The single best thing I can think of for learning vocabulary is
copying the word lists. Force yourself to make each word travel through
your brain on its way between your eyes and fingers, and you'll have done
wonders for your knowledge of what Klingon words exist.
And if you do it right, you'll have given yourself a wonderful resource:
a single place to go for looking up words. Until you make yourself your
own special Klingon-English dictionary, you'll have to either look words
up in multiple places or trust someone else's list, which might be missing
some words, or could even just plain be wrong.
