It's really hard. All the hard consonants get skipped and many vowels 
mispronounced. I can't do it at all, even though I don't usually have 
too much trouble with accents in English. If anyone can get it, I 
would suggest ghunchu'wI'.  He is really good at interpreting Klinglish.

If you taped it try turning on the closed captions. Sometimes itjust 
says "speaking Klingon" but sometimes they have the actual script.
