    Also, DuoLingo has lost its honor in general with its AI obsession and heavy layoffs; only a petaQ would use such a coward’s website.

    The only way a true warrior can learn Klingon is the old ways - the Okrand books and tapes!

    EDIT: Klingon Wiki is also helpful, as is KlingonSKA for searching words and Hol ‘ampaS for font-related stuff and digital versions of out-of-print Okrand tapes.

      I would think a Klingon would learn English from the last words of his/her dying enemies.

        Funny post, but “his/her” makes me think, “What about non-binary Klingons?”

        That poses the interesting question: what is it like to be non-binary, or queer in general, as a Klingon? Sounds like a whole c/Daystrom Institute post I need to make.

          What’s interesting is that we sort of have a counterpoint already with The Orville’s Moclans, who have interpreted their warrior culture fixation as mandating force-transition to suppress females. This results in an interesting cameo by Dolly Parton playing her own hologram. The Klingons are at least more progressive there.
