how can i learn klingon?!?

I can recommend starting out by listening to DaHjaj Hol (a podcast by the founder of the Klingon Language Institute); the idea is to teach you Klingon in short segments. You'll find the first episode here:
http://www.lawrencemschoen.com/podcasts/...ol-110101/

Full list of episodes starts here: http://www.lawrencemschoen.com/category/...s/page/46/
(there are around 365 of them in total)

I can also recommend these two websites, which include a lexicon, grammar guides and more:
http://www.klingonska.org
http://hol.kag.org

You can practice your Klingon and ask questions to experienced speakers over at the KIDC forums:
http://www.klingon.org/smboard

...and on Twitter, many of us use the hashtag #tlh. One good account to follow is @kwotd, which tweets a Klingon word of the day.

On Facebook, you can follow the page Hol 'ampaS, which publishes a Klingon word of the day and other posts related to the Klingon language.
There's also a Klingon word search app on Facebook that you can use to practice your vocabulary: http://apps.facebook.com/klingonwordsearch/

...and a Klingon flashcard set on Memrise: http://www.memrise.com/course/25764/klcp1/

If you decide to really go for learning the language, however, I really do recommend getting the books "The Klingon Dictionary" and "Klingon for the Galactic Traveler" by Marc Okrand.

There's also a really fun audiobook called "Conversational Klingon", which is available on iTunes, Audible and the like.

Oh, and one last thing: Don't trust automatic translators; they virtually *never* produce correct tlhIngan Hol.
