Give a listen, and let me know what you think.

I’m trying to follow the course and it would be useful to have a written reference to the vocabulary in each installment. Just so that I don’t have to guess when spelling (the Klingon orthography might be regular but I don’t know it 🙂
Thanks for your work

This is a great idea!
I’ll start including vocabulary with each blog post.
And (once I manage to connect with my webmaster) probably also a separate webpage showing all the vocabulary so far.

Is there a brief listing available of the different classes of Duj? I’ve found a few online, but no comprehensive list anywhere.

Not an unreasonable question, but an answer doesn’t spring to mind.
Some judicious use of Google-fu might serve you well. I’d do it, but I’m busy loading up the next couple days’ lessons.
