Starfleet Academy Experience

Starfleet Academy Experience was an exhibition taking place between the 9th of July in 2016 and the 31st of October 2016 in the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space museum in New York (1).

Klingon course

Part of the exhibition was an introduction to the Klingon language, realized as an interactive learning program, which the visitors could take on a computer terminal with touch screen (2). Unfortunately this introduction contains several spelling mistakes:

Wrong spelling	Corrected spelling	Translation	Notes
nuq neH	nuqneH	What do you want?	This greeting is composed of two words, but as a term on its own written without a space.
HaB sosli Quch	Hab SoSlI' Quch	Your mother has a smooth forehead.	In Klingon the B is always lower case, while the S is alsways upper case. The apostrophe is missing.
Heghlu'meh QaQ jajvam	Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam	Today is a good day to die.

The sentences are spoken by a Klingon and the visitor has the chance to repeat it. The visitor receives a feedback, if the pronunciation was correct or not.
