Power Klingon and Conversational Klingon are both very good resources for
learning how to speak the language - you can't hear how things are
pronounced from a book. They are also good, simple introductions to the
grammar, but keep in mind that they are merely introductions. The Klingon
Dictionary itself is absoluetly essential for learning the langauge.

KLBC stands for Klingon Language Beginners' C-something. What the C stands
for is a rather interesting question. It started out as "Conversations", but
has also been called "Corner", "Class", "Course", "Contributions", etc.
Beginners use the KLBC label when they want help with a post. It signals the
Beginners' Grammarian (currently me) to look over the post for questions and
corrections, and signals everyone else not to comment on grammatical issues
at least until after the BG has had a chance to reply.
