The course teaches Klingon and and is transcribed in romanised tlhIngan Hol and in pIqaD but you can select any of the other languages as your help/base language.. In theory it would mean if you know the language being taught you could also change the help language just to see those words or if a quiz questions in that language. How useful that would be I don't know but could be interesting.
The current help languages available are:
Afrikaans, Albanian, Alsatian, Amharic, Arabic, Arabic (Egyptian), Armenian, Assamese, Aymara, Azeri,
Basque, Bengali, Berber (Tamazight), Brazilian Portuguese, Breton, Bulgarian, Burmese,
Cantonese, Catalan, Chichewa, Chinese (Mandarin), Chuvash, Cornish, Corsican, Croatian, Czech,

Yes there are brand new words and brand new combinations for things like car, train, flashlight etc. There's also 36 examples of times which includes new canon in it's own little way.
The course template contains about 340 entries of either words or phrases all of which are now canon as the whole course has been through the ringer with Marc.
As someone else has said it will be available world wide from the 30th September so it won't be like the Klingon Monopoly which Marc was working on at the same time.
