When I was a kid, it turned down the offer my parents made to teach me to speak Japanese.
Now, maybe I can make up for that poor decision and do something that would have made them proud!

It took me about 30s and I got it.  I think you are half way there if you can make 5 different sounds while clearing your throat.

I'm pretty sure they still speak an ancient dialect of Klingon over here, certainly i have no clue what they are talking about.

The Klingon language was based in a large part on Welsh.

Its not just the Klingons you need to watch out for in our 2012 Census, figures showed 176,632 Jedi are living in the UK mind you this is down from the 390,127 Jedi who registered in 2001!
