And of course you should listen to Conversational Klingon and Power Klingon, both read by Marc Okrand.  They’re available as cassette tapes, CDs, and probably online by now.  Transcripts of everything on them are easily available but I recommend transcribing and analyzing the grammar yourself, without looking at the transcript for every sentence.  Wait until your completely done.

Some of the sounds aren't perfect, but he's getting better, and it's a good place to start training your ear (and your mouth).

If you have the paq'batlh, you could listen to my recording of the first book: https://soundcloud.com/qurgh/sets/paqbatlh-paqyav   I'm not perfect either, but it should get you started.

It's true that spoken Klingon material can be a bit hard to find, but
that doesn't mean you can't find something that's simpler than a
full-speed conversation. I would recommend that you start by listening
to something (not necessarily the trailer that just came out) for which
you have a transcript, and follow along with the transcript. Go through
it several times, until you can make out all of the words.
