(When I began learning (Klingon language), I was frustrated. I read TDK, but I didn't learn it. But if I translate posts (from the list), I can learn. I can't speak Klingon, but I can write it, if I try.) :-)
I had some questions about grammer:
1. How would I say, "[Someone's name] sent an e-mail to me" or "I received am e-mail from [someone's name]? (Using "jabbI'ID" for e-mail).
2. If I want to say, "lunch was good", could I say <megh QaQpu'>?
3. Is there a word for "fun"?
4. What can I use for "with" as in "I talked/stayed/ate/etc. with [someone's name]"?
5. If I want to say, "[Someone's name] ate lunch" or some other verb, how would I write it?
6. Can I use <Quj>, (play a game) if I have a specific game in mind, like, "<Baseball> vIQuj", or should I just use reH, (play), "<Baseball> vIreH" ?
7. Can I use <je> (and) for joining more than two nouns?
8. How can I say "[someone's name] and I? (I tried "[someone's name jIH je"-- is that right?)
9. How can I say "when" as in, "When I got there..." or "When it was over..."?
Also, could someone maybe ask me some questions or something that I could answer in Klingon? That'd be good practice for me. : )
