[Tlhingan-hol] Things missing

[Robyn Stewart]

I’m the one who wrote the existing online course and I am working on the next level already.  I think it may not all be ready for my May 2016 target date, but I’ll contact anyone who finishes the first course and make arrangements to be sure they don’t lose momentum. I would also like to include more exercises in the courses, as that’s one of the most requested features. At the time I made it, I thought it might be intimidating to include more exercises than are there already.  To mitigate that I will put the additional exercises on another page.  

Students could actually help me with this by trying to make as many valid sensible sentences as possible with each lesson’s vocabulary and grammar.  I’ll send back any corrections to you, and post the corrected versions as exercises for others, with credit if you wish. I’d also welcome better artwork, or any other suggestions for making the lessons better. I love you guys and am so happy that you are learning tlhIngan Hol and stepping up to help improve the learning environment. That’s how we all got here.  jIQuch.

Oh my gosh, grammar exercises would be soooo amazing. That is a good suggestion. And I know that for me, morpheme-by-morpheme breakdowns of more complex sentences would help tremendously in learning how to decipher more complex phrases. 
I am currently working my way through the online beginner  course in my free time, but I hope by the time I finally finish a next level course might be ready.

i believe 3 things are missing,which if existed they would be of great help to Klingon as a language. I realize that for copyright reasons mainly,it would be impossible for these 3 things to actually take place but anyway,here goes..

1. KLI should publish all HolQeD as a book/books and make it available through every major bookstore. The only experience i had of HolQeD was through the "grammarian's desk", which i liked so much that it made me sad to think that there were whole issues of HolQeD i could not acquire. Let alone the fact that i searched for months until i finally found it.

2. Three books should be published ; Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced. Each should focus on grammar having as many exercises as possible,for the student to practice his individual skills depending on his level. And each of these books should be as many pages as possible,so as to keep the reader interested and gradually working his way to higher levels

3. There should be an established board/academy/institution which should have the authority to create canon (vocabulary & grammar). Its proceedings/guidelines should by definition be considered valid and accepted among Klingonists throughout the world. And i believe this should happen so as to gradually overcome any deficiencies in vocabulary and/or grammar in a way that would be globally recognized and accepted.
