[Tlhingan-hol] Certification Test Woes

[Lieven]

Thanks, d'Armond, for your explanation. I have always followed your 
guidelines when taking the test, especially when somebody was only one 
poitn away from passing it and that one mistake was not really a mistake.

Yes, that's a good point. That's why I suggested another level, 
something like level "zero", which may be something like a qualification 
test to do the real KLCP test. Like this, real beginner may be prepared 
to see what awaits them in level on KLCP.

I have many students at my qepHom who do speak... lets say "some" 
klingon. They know many phrases, they can order their beer in Klingon, 
they may even answer short sentences. Then, they are so eagerly 
anticipating the KLCP test - and then they fail utterly, which throws 
them back a lot.

If you agree, I will set up such a level zero preparation test, picking 
up questions and basic words from the KLCP.  I could do it alone, but 
would like to do it in a cooperation with you.
