With the exception of pronunciation, this mailing list is a great resource
for your needs. Several years ago there was a real-time virtual community
which helped my vocabulary immensely, as well as developing my
comprehension speed. Perhaps the KLI should get it back on-line, or at
least look into sponsoring an official replacement for it.

Pronunciation is certainly best addressed in face-to-face communication.
That's one of the three major points that I discovered at the first qep'a'
I attended. (The other points are the realization that body language is at
least as important in Klingon as it is in English, and the constant
reminder that in spoken conversation there is no 'backspace' key.)
