RE: yIjaH,'Iwghargh yInej ('go look for a bloodworm', i.e. 'go fish')
Hi Pam-
I'd love to get a copy of your handout, or any other materials you'd like to
share.
My son & I started using Klingon sporadically a couple years ago, but it's
hard to stay current if you are not around other speakers. I wish there were
a local chapter of the Klingon defense force in KC.
Anyway, If you aren't already aware, KLI has audio clips of common phrases -
that helps with enunciation.
Keep in mind what Warf said "expectoration is a natural side effect of
speaking Klingon".
Qapla'

Hello, friends who know much more about Klingon than I do.
I am teaching a one-unit class on Klingon this quarter at UCLA (it meets
for ten hours total). Although I hope that class members and I will
learn a great deal about this wonderful language, it's primarily going
to be an overview and introduction to resources. But it needs to be fun.
At our first meeting class members learned about pronunciation and sang
"*Qoy, qeylIS puqloD*" and saw some of the ways the text illustrates
important points about Klingon grammar. At our next meeting I plan to
take some time for a game of *yIjah, 'Iwghargh yInej*, for which I've
devised a basic vocabulary. I don't think I can include an attachment
here, but I'd love your feedback on this. If you email me I'd be happy
to send you my handout on playing this game.
Pam
