Also, DuoLingo has lost its honor in general with its AI obsession and heavy layoffs; only a petaQ would use such a coward’s website.

The only way a true warrior can learn Klingon is the old ways - the Okrand books and tapes!

EDIT: Klingon Wiki is also helpful, as is KlingonSKA for searching words and Hol ‘ampaS for font-related stuff and digital versions of out-of-print Okrand tapes.

I would think a Klingon would learn English from the last words of his/her dying enemies.

Funny post, but "his/her" makes me think, "What about non-binary Klingons?"

That poses the interesting question: what is it like to be non-binary, or queer in general, as a Klingon? Sounds like a whole c/Daystrom Institute post I need to make.

What's interesting is that we sort of have a counterpoint already with The Orville's Moclans, who have interpreted their warrior culture fixation as mandating force-transition to suppress females. This results in an interesting cameo by Dolly Parton playing her own hologram. The Klingons are at least more progressive there.

Klingons don't care about orientation, they only care about honor.
