The klingon classes, called "qepHom", are organised and held by Dipl. Ing. Lieven L. Litaer, a Belgian living in Germany. In his daily life, he works as an architect.

But not only his enthusiasm for the klingon culture, but also his stunning language skills contribute to the fact that he can in the best way represent the language in film, radio and television.
