You seem to know what KLBC is for, so I won't go into the whole newbie intro. I'm the Beginner's Grammarian, and I get first crack at answering your posts, and then others can chime in.  Also, if you want any advice on resources, or learning methods, I'll try to advise you.

In general, this is pretty good.  I'll take each sentence in order.

maj ('good').

"Klingon is very interesting" would be {Dajqu' tlhIngan Hol}.  In this sentence, {Daj} is used as a verb, and the phrase {tlhIngan Hol} is its subject. You've written "The very interesting Klingon language."

>"English" vijatlh 'ej "Japan" Hol vIghojtaH je.  

Fine, except for misspelled {vIjatlh}.

>vaj tlhIngan Hol vigholchoH 'ej "TKD"'e' vIghaj.

Mostly fine, but you've misspelled {vIghojchoH}, and you don't need {-'e'} on "TKD".
