Welcome to the list, Mike. Sorry I took so long to get back to you - I had a
partially written response done this weekend, but it got eaten.

You are right - the dictionary is NOT a course in Klingon. The tapes are a
little bit more instructional, but still leave a lot to be desired for a
Klingon student.

One of the best ways to learn Klingon is just to participate in this list.
Mark your messages as beginner messages with a KLBC in the subject line, and
I will respond with corrections to your grammar and answers to your
questions. Other beginners are doing this as well, and their messages are
generally fairly easy to read. Go ahead and post some simple Klingon
sentences and see how you do!

The KLI also offers a postal course, which is a more structured way of
learning that you might like. You can find information about it at:
