    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 😬
