The downside of the Duolingo Klingon course is that as of now, there is no audio. So no pronunciation guides whatsoever! You can't learn a language if you don't know how to pronounce the words.
You said "no earth language uses apostrophes in the middle of words", but you are wrong. Hawaiian uses them. In fact, Hawaii is properly spelt Hawai'i. It's called a glottal stop and several other languages use it, including guaraní and samoan. In fact English also uses the sound, though not the spelling, in words such as oh-oh.
I think this error comes about because Duolingo has never had a language with "apostrophes in the middle of words" before. Even that's not really true since English contractions use apostrophes in the middle of words. Be assured that the Klingon team knows all about it, even if Duolingo PR doesn't.
Andres you are right. I should have worded that better. I was going off of what the Duolingo team told me but the takeaway I wanted to convey is that Duolingo needed special programming to handle the unique apostrophe rules of Klingon.

In Arabic, the equivalent of the apostrophe is the diacritic Maddah It looks like a minus squiggle above Arabic letters. For instance, the word Qur'an is spelled القرآن You can also see apostrophes transliterated for the Hamza symbol: ء For instance, the name Fu'ad is spelled by placing the hamza above the knotted letter: فؤاد
In Russian we can use ‘ in the middle of words. You can use it instead of ъ, but your writing will look 50 years old ;) объявление = об’явление. Подъезд = под’езд

2:00 - But if you understand the parts of speech in any language you can put things that you believe would be a prefix and a suffix to it and still get the word correct. I've used this trick to speak out words that I don't know and then after when I look them up the words are already legit

If I understand what you are saying, then it might be that you are using the app and not the website. The website has massively helpful tips for each lesson and makes all the difference in learning. Those tips are available via the app in other languages, but for some reason they don't show up for Klingon. ...You still will need to use hints in lessons to learn vocab, but you pick it up fast due to repetition. Hope this helps.
Looked up P'tok, says there's no specific translation but generally "weirdo" or "being weird." When you watch the various times it's used in STNG, DS9, Voyager, etc., every single time it comes across in context more in a way that suggests "queer." As in, they're calling you a homophobic slur when someone calls you a P'tok.
I havent watched star trek, but I have watched TBBT where I found out about it. I saw yesterday that I can learn klingon on there, but none of the words I'm shown make sense and it's just so fast, like new words for every lesson
ha, I'm making my own language based of English so now I know it's possible to not have to do it for ten years or so but most likely half of one year, good luck to me
Is it on Duolingo the phone app? Or another Duolingo program. My next phone will have Duolingo if it's on there. Even if not, because I'm learning Russian right now. 🙂
*sigh* Klingon language, the words, delivery, syntax, was originally created by James Doohan/Jon Povill for Star Trek the Motion Picture. Okrand took those few lines and extracted an entire vocabulary out of it. Had Doohan opted for Klingons sounding like Leprechauns...who knows where Trek would be today.
"No Earth language uses apostrophes in the middle of words" (3:38) {face palm} Americans can be so ignorant. Not only do many languages use apostrophes in the middle of words, but ENGLISH uses them!!! In contractions like "I'm", "don't" and the possessive 's (e.g. "John's").
True - though the inverse is also true: Many Americans incorrectly put apostrophes in words that do not need them thinking it makes them plural instead. Bad: "It's in the parking lot with the other car's." Good: "It's in the parking lot with the other cars." Bad: "Shut the car door's." Good: "Shut the car's doors." (or) "Shut the doors." Though, the CNet Editor is clearly an idiot. I stopped taking her remotely seriously when she said she liked "Star Track." mmmkay. Tuned ya out just then.
Why is there a single Klingon language? Checkov was speaking Russian, Sulu Japanese, Scotty Gaelic, Uhura whichever African language she spoke (not sure her nationality), Spock Vulcan and the universal translator just made it sound like they spoke the same language.
from experience, Klingon is harder than Spanish lol but with time you can learn both of them. There are a couple of pronunciations that the Spanish language has (that the English doesn't) that will help you pronounce better Klingon :) hope I helped you decide lol
the gutteral krr sound is native in danish, so I def. have an advantage over english speakers :D Danish has that back of the throat, but still all of the mouth sound everywhere. try using text to speak on the danish word grød.

Will I be assimilated into a Borg if I miss my Klingon lessons
Hawaiian uses apostrophes for glottal stops. They can be in the middle of a word.
Why the heck does Duolingo have Klingon and high Valyrian and only one native African language?
I don't even like star trek, I just love fictional languages.
It's not really a fictional language, though. It's a real language made for fiction.
