Not bad. It looks like you need to pay a little more attention to
your verb prefixes, specifically looking at how they must agree with
the verb's object in addition to the subject. You used {jI-} a
couple of places where {vI-} is called for.
Your last sentence seems intended to mean "I hope to learn a lot."
Klingon doesn't do infinitives like "to learn" this way, instead
using full sentences in the Sentence As Object construction (see TKD
section 6.2.5). It needs to be done like this:
{jIghojqu' 'e' vItul}
"I hope that I really learn."
