I learned a bunch of Klingon way back when the first Klingon-English dictionary came out, but I've forgotten it all since then.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Immersion is so important
For sure, but it also doesn't help that we're talking 1992 here and I was 15.
(I've learned that it didn't first come out then, but it did first come out in paperback in 1992.)
Does it hurt more that we’re talking about a language where immersion would require living on a fantasy spaceship or a planet that doesn’t exist?
Unless you grew up in the household where that dad only spoke Klingon his kid. Which was not very nice of him 😬
Whoosh for me not getting the joke!
:D one day, when we’re maxing out a Holodeck’s capabilities together Squid (e.g. using them to browse Lemmy), it won’t be a joke no more

I was expecting this:
An elegant video for a more civilized age.
I fell into serious FOMO b/c of some friends joking around about the owl harassing them and then getting into daily xp competitions... so I joined and tried Klingon.
It is very not good. The sentences it builds for learning are...weird at best, and the audio was inconsistent. Maybe it's my learning style conflicting with how Duo does things, but... I hated it.
Duolingo is not so much about teaching, but more about (here it comes again) building engagement with the users. It didn't start out like this, but somewhere the MBA's probably took over.
Hehe. This is true.
But there is also a big quality difference between Klingon and languages like German,Spanish, and Japanese.
Just mix them together into Klingish (or Spangon?).
¡Qapla', mi amigo!
The B'Elanna Torres strategy
I'm assuming this is bij.
You'd have to ask ~~Gowron~~ the Klingon who definitely isn't Gowron.

Bienvenido a Sto'Vo'Kor
I'm surprised at how well these languages mix, lol. Definitely going to start sprinkling some random Klingon words into my Spanish.
