I wrote out the digits one to ten with a big black felt pen, and wrote the
Klingon word next to each.
I also wrote down "____ bIngDaq: _____" and other words and phrases I
expected to be commonly used during the night. People learn better if they
see something, hear it, AND do it.

A telephone number is usually recited digit by digit, occasionally in
groups if the person thinks the groups are easier to say or remember. We
were saying the numbers that way merely as practice in saying large
numbers. Everyone had mastered the digits by then.

My husband tried to snag an Oreo and we all told him that he had to speak
Klingon to get it. He earned his by declaring <ghobe', SuD!>
