Have you ever had a conversation in Klingon with anyone else? Much like my native language of Shashone I don't speak, or understand it at all. I would love to hear Klingon learned between to people and have a full conversation recorded. It would also allow for teaching. Letting students see the nuances and subtle differences in choice words, and sounds. Anyway, I'm fascinated with languages in general. So yeah. Anyway, good video.
@andoyc : It was this same klingon teacher from Germany who translated that website of the Deutsche Welle. By the way, it still is available on klingon dot dw-world dot de
a few years back, the Deutsche Welle was also available in the klingon language (besides German and English, among others). I think that's the reason the klingon teacher is German.
@integralsrulz : You are partially right, but what I am telling is not wrong either. Of course you may say "I am x, son of y" and so on. But in this lesson, we are just teaching how to say "My name is ..." ;-)
HoD Mark, puqloD Carl, vo' tuq Scott. (I am Mark, son of Carl, of the Clan {house} Scott.) If a Klingon asks for your name, give it. If a Klingon asks 'Iv Soh, state your given name, "son of"/"daughter of", your Father's name, and then "from the house of" and your family name. I'm Clan Scott by marriage, and the Clan Scott is of higher status than my family, so I would use that instead. Especially since their are lots of stories of brave deeds on the Border, fierce battles against the English, and legendary feuds between the Scotts and their rivals, the Caers and the Elliots. We must be part Klingon- a traditional family toast is "Confusion to the English!"
I'm pretty sure if you were talking to a Klingon they would not say "My name is Quvar". They would most likely say, "I am Quvar Son of ******" As family heritage and pride are VERY important in the Klingon race. But I'm no expert by any means.
I think that only applies to the Klingons themselves, I don't remember Picard introducing himself as Jean-Luc son of Maurice. It may be an insult for outsiders to introduce themselves in that manner.
That's Wrong jiH is not " Captain, Because tlIng'an jiH is " We Are Klingon " so how can " jiH be " Captain? ", I've used JiH Pong' wIj, then q' Dar veStay-veSQa. or something similar
jIH is I/me, or in this case "I am". "tlhIngan jIH" means "I am (a) Klingon"; "HoD means captain, so "HoD jIH" is "I am the captain", etc. Klingon word order is different from English.
A Klingon raised in Germany? I love it.

I agree.. Heritage is a huge factor!
"What is your name?" should be "nuq 'oH ponglIj'e'" not "pongwIj'e'."
While Quvar said "ponglIj," the caption read "pongwIj."

Fabulous pronunciation--it sounds much like what I picture the Klingon's sounding like.

How would you say: son of/ daughter of?
puq'lod (son of). puq'be (daughter of).

1:37 that is some nice steady editing right there
Agreed. Very well done.

Quark introduced himself thus.
