I did try to learn a bit of Lojban when playing with Anki. I came to the conclusion that I really, really don’t like trying to produce speech with a language without having lots of cached idiom to draw from. It makes me feel like my brain is locked in an autist mode completely deaf to the tone connotations of whatever I’m saying.
I might be a bit of an outlier since I also hated all the foreign language teaching in school, which went straight into making everyone speak in very broken language, instead of spending the first few years reading foreign language pulp comics and novels with a simple vocabulary where aliens eat peoples’ intestines, which is the good way to learn a foreign language.
