I just listened to lesson 1.
wejpuH.
The overall content is good, but the pronunciation of {Qapla'} could use some work. It's slightly improved from the classic "ka-plah", with about half as much emphasis on the {Q} as is needed to distinguish it from a shallower version of {q}, and the syllable boundary is definitely wrong. The word is {Qap-la'}, not {Qa-pla'}. No Klingon syllable begins with {pl}.
Of course, most of the actors get it wrong, too in all the movies and commercials. Someday, we'll see someone who actually says it right.
Nice set, though.
