[Tlhingan-hol] KLBC: Learning Vocab

[chransberry@gmail.com]

I did check out that Memrise course, and I must say I'm very favorably impressed! The other course I was doing (Complete Klingon Vocabulary) always annoyed me because the input exercises did not distinguish capital letters or apostrophes. So for example if the word was ba', I'd input "ba" and then it would turn green and go to the next one before I could finish the word. And all the letters it gave me to choose from were lowercase, so boQ looked like boq, and I would get used to seeing it wrong, which was hindering me. But since I had had similar issues with the Lojban for Beginners course, I assumed that all Memrise courses were like that. So when I started this KLCP1 course, I was very excited when it was time to input noH, to see the capital H in the selection of letters, and that h didn't pass. Similarly with pa', I was very glad that it didn't pass on until I input the apostrophe!

TLDR; I want to commend the creator of the KLCP1 Memrise course for taking the time to change settings or whatever was necessary to make a Klingon vocab course that works like it should, instead of reinforcing bad habits! majQa'!

fata irae: That sounds like a great system! I have experimented with
picture-cards but I find that taking the time to arrange the photos is
frustratingly long for me. I do use that capacity on Memrise sometimes,
though.

QISta': I'm glad the KLCP1 Memrise course may be useful to you! It does
have a finicky name that may be hard to find if you don't already know it
is there.

Lieven: That sounds super useful, but 'oy! That must take forever! Then
again that is probably just not my style.

All: To be honest, my strategy has been to talk to as many people as
possible! At this point going to qep'a' or qepHom or speaking with someone
online is the surest way to learn words. QeS constantly says <teHbej>,
which I looked up twelve times before now I remember it! Still, to the
flashcards I must go!

Qov: jIta'. I was thinking specifically of vocabulary acquisition tools I
have used, and didn't remember the AWESOME NEW OFFICIAL KLI BEGINNERS
COURSE THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE USING (
http://www.kli.org/members-only/klcp-prep/)  that you made simply because
it is filed under "THE WHOLE PACKAGE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO BE AN EXPERT
BEGINNER" instead of "the drudgery of vocab acquisition." I will remember
in future!
