Is this a thread about bears?
Because I find all these typos unbearable.

AFAIK you can just use regular Latin letters for Klingon, just like you'd use Roumaji for Japanese or pin1yin1 for Mandarin.
I suspect you're at high risk of misinterpreting a Japanese sentence written in romaji (or maybe even in kana). Pinyin definitely will mislead you, even with the tone marks and word seperations.
Yes, actually the situation is probably better for Klingon, as it's more or less designed to work with Latin characters.
Probably the readability of ãƒãƒ¼ãƒžå— [roumaji] and 拼音 [pinyin] is very dependent on how well you can actually understand spoken Japanese and Mandarin and if speaker and writer are using the same conventions. It might actually make it easier if you don't know how to read all the ã

@Neolithic:

You also spelled "moist" as "most."
The translation of the danish phrase would be something akin to "You sir, are a fly fucker", meaning you get a bit too excited about very very small things ;)

@HarryMcScary:
I approve of any help anyone offers. I'll be buying my materials at the end of this month or early February. If I can convince my wife that it's worth it, I'll be taking the distance course from the Goethe Institut, even if the pricetag is a bit out there. I'll holler at you (and Snakes and thorkm!) once I get started and my inevitable questions pop up.
Just say when. Olouth approves of anyone seeking to learn other languages besides their own as such helps Intercultural Communication.

Similar to the Dutch expression, although we substitute ants for the flies.

A friend who had to do the same thing I'm doing recommended a chapter a week of this cheap book instead of an expensive course. He and his wife managed to learn well enough to read with a dictionary in hand at a moderate pace, then just practice reading stories until admissions time. I'll be buying it in 2-3 weeks.

I take it you type with an upward inflection at the end of your sentences?

Maybe you should start to learn properly those you already think you know.

It's grammar not grammer. And I'm fairly certain that nazish isnt a word.
