Product Description
"Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam."

"It is a good day to die."

What is the proper response to this? What should I do?

Now, with Klingon for the Galactic Traveler you will know.

Organized into four easy-to-use sections, this book will guide your steps through the Klingon language and customs:

  • The regional dialects of the Empire
  • Common, everyday usage of the language
  • The slang phrases and curses that color the Klingon volcabulary
  • Most importantly, the proper verbal, physical, and cultural responses.

A misspoken word to a Klingon, who is quick to take offense and even quicker to take action, could have dire consequences. This book is the indispensable guide for the galactic traveler.

5 out of 5 stars Witty Subject Line   November 4, 2008
Jabatam (Bum F#$%, Egypt)
Great book that discusses more than just the language, but the history and where the different dialects come from and their use in this complex language. A must own for those serious about the Klingon language

"A warrior fights to the death." That quote alone speaks volumes about "The Klingon Way." Star Trek Klingon for the Galactic Traveler is an excellent addition to your Star Trek library. Not long after reading through this book, I almost felt as if this were a real culture I was reading about. Some of the Star Trek "extras," as like to call them are at best, superfluous. That is not the case in this book. If you're even remotely interested in or intrigued by the Klingons, this book is worth the price. My only complaint, as with other Star Trek "extras," is that it's peppered with black & white photos. Thank you very much to the author for this one.

Klingon for the Galactic Traveler builds on the introductory studies of Klingon culture and language introduced in The Klingon Dictionary. For those who want to learn more about Klingons, what they eat, how they think, feel, etc., Klingon for the Galactic Traveler is a fine place to start your quest for knowledge of Klingons.

This seems to be the best book if you are trying to learn the Klingon Language "tlhingan". It includes a dictionary and a grammer part. Really nice!
