Just mix them together into Klingish (or Spangon?).
¡Qapla', mi amigo!

  I'm surprised at how well these languages mix, lol. Definitely going to start sprinkling some random Klingon words into my Spanish.

I learned a bunch of Klingon way back when the first Klingon-English dictionary came out, but I've forgotten it all since then.

  For sure, but it also doesn't help that we're talking 1992 here and I was 15.
  (I've learned that it didn't first come out then, but it did first come out in paperback in 1992.)
I fell into serious FOMO b/c of some friends joking around about the owl harassing them and then getting into daily xp competitions... so I joined and tried Klingon.
It is very not good. The sentences it builds for learning are...weird at best, and the audio was inconsistent. Maybe it's my learning style conflicting with how Duo does things, but... I hated it.
- Duolingo is not so much about teaching, but more about (here it comes again) building engagement with the users. It didn't start out like this, but somewhere the MBA's probably took over.
  
  Hehe. This is true.
  But there is also a big quality difference between Klingon and languages like German,Spanish, and Japanese.
