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

        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 😬

    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.
