5.0 out of 5 stars Totally brilliant! Will enhance viewing of Star Trek films! Qapla'!
This brilliant book gives information on the pronunciation of Klingon, the grammar explanations are clear with plenty of examples, & there are references to Klingon culture and the way of life - just as you would expect to find in a good dictionary for any language spoken on Earth or any other planet. It is bilingual ie there is a Klingon to English vocabulary section, plus an English to Klingon section. The grammar coverage is comprehensive, yet it is approachable for all readers, whether they have learned other languages or not. After using this book you will be able to understand the Klingon in your favourite films and TV programmes, as well as speak to other Star Trek enthusiasts in Klingon.So...nuqneH? ( = What do you want?) This dictionary! (& this dictionary will also act as support for the Duolingo Klingon course)

5.0 out of 5 stars klingon dictionary
great dictionary
5.0 out of 5 stars Yay! Totally brilliant, just what I needed!
I started learning Klingon a few weeks back and enjoyed it so much, I decided to go for it and get the dictionary. So glad I did! It's simplified learning for me, explaining some things I hadn't grasped from Duolingo's admittedly excellent course. I am totally amazed at how Marc Okrand managed to create this language from nowhere and make it seem so authentic. Love it!
5.0 out of 5 stars Not a bedtime read but great companion
I have always been interested in different languages and when I found that I too could learn the language of one of the most well-known alien races in the Alpha Quadrant I had to buy.This is so much more than a dictionary providing a lot of support with grammar and pronunciation, areas that are rather more complex than originally anticipated. I would recommend that the dictionary is used in conjunction with a good friend as no-one can learn a language from reading a book alone.
5.0 out of 5 stars Almost fluent.
I was a bit disappointed initially that it didn't have some of the phrases I was more familiar with nut then realised that a lot of that was later Next Gen and DS9 canon. Good book, well composed, not a deep read, something that you dip in and out of as you need to.
Muy buena referencia, indispensable para el estudio del idioma
Muy buena compra para iniciarse en el estudio de la lengua. Ya necesita una actualización.

É um dicionário. Não tem o que dizer sobre ser bom ou ruim.
Die perfekte Grundlage
Was soll ich als lingonischlehrer dazu sagen? TKD ist einfach die Bibel des Klingonischen und enthält alle Grundlagen. Wichtig sei für den Anfänger aber die Anmerkung, dass es kein Lehrbuch ist, sondern nur die Grammatik also solche beschreibt. Zum Lernen empfiehlt sich das Buch "Klingonisch für Einsteiger".Im Übrigen haben ich diese Bestellung von TKD zurückgeschickt, da ich das Buch mit dem roten Cover haben wollte, aber das weiße erhielt. Beide sind inhaltlich identisch, aber ich wollte eben das neue rote Cover, und nicht das alte.
A great source for the rules of the language!
Some people might find this book to be a bit technical, but that does seem to be the point. It lays out the rules for proper Klingon in concise, well-organized chapters. It starts with a guide to letters and pronunciation. Then it moves on to noun and verb prefixes and suffixes. The rules do an excellent job of contrasting the language patterns with English. While we speak more commonly with an active voice (He hits the ball.), Klingon sentence structure translates most directly to what we would call passive voice (The ball is hit by him.). The book also notes that while the rules presented are the ones for proper Klingon, it is common to leave out some of the unnecessary or implied words for normal speech. After all, "Go!" is a bit faster than "Go right now!" in a battle situation. And this shortened military slang is said to carry over into normal daily speech quite often.There is a large translation vocabulary section, going both from Klingon to English and English to Klingon. Following that is a short section of common phrases (like "Where is the bathroom?")The book itself is a normal quality paperback. I see it getting well-used over time, and I'm sure it will hold up just fine.If you're interested in learning Klingon, you can't do any better than this book. It is well-organized, simple to understand, and provides a lot of good examples. I have only been reading the book for about a week, but I can fairly easily spell Klingon I hear on TV or in a movie, and I understand the occasional word. Once I get my vocabulary up, I'm sure I'll be able to understand it all.
