Do you mind sharing what they are and where you bought them from? I know someone who's absolutely crazy about Star Trek and I'd love to shock them with some phrases in basic Klingon. |

I chose some easy phrases taken straight from the website:
"hello"
"what's happening"

I probably got the pronounciation wrong on just about all, but he was pretty shocked!
