Most of these do work, but we don't know for sure how a klingon would say
it. With these sentences he would understand you, but he might wonder what
corner of the galaxy you're from... or maybe not; we don't know.
Some people will offer the "sash" method, but I've seen a lot of controversy
over that.
Another method that we see used in other examples, which you came quite
close to, is multiple sentences. The way I would write it is -
qaghojmoH. mu' chu' Daghoj.
"I will cause you to learn. You will learn a new word."
Also, ghojmoH is listed as "teach" to help you find it. It's really ghoj
"learn", with -moH "-cause". "cause to learn".
