I believe it was more about the fact that only d'Armond would speak Klingon to Alec, so the pressure to speak English was too great. Alec started to refuse to speak Klingon.
Must be kind of weird to see your father speak perfect English to your mother, your relatives, but then speak only Klingon to you. Why does he do that? Alec got to an age of awareness of this, and wanted it to stop, so d'Armond stopped.
Well, my son knows Klingon is a real language because he's observed me speaking to others. Just this Saturday I spoke with {DeSDu'} (Jack Bradley) over Discord while he was in the room with me, and he even tried to sing {Qoy qeylIS puqloD} for him. (He knows only the first, third, and last line, so a bit of lossy compression going on there.) And Sunday I took him to meet André Müller (whom he knows) and Christian Bayerlein (who was visiting) and we spoke Klingon together. I don't know to what degree he'll actually pick up the language, though. I'm not actively trying to teach him. -- De'vID
