Well, um, y'know, Christophe, maybe if your conlangs weren't so maggelitous, you might be able to achieve that desirable goal. Of course, I say that as someone who can't utter very many sentences in Lojban either, but that's because you have to *think* in Lojban to talk Lojban, and that is real work. Besides, I have zero talent for memorizing vocabulary, so I can parse most Lojban but I have no idea what is being talked about.
