I would like to pose this question in a more general way, especially to
those of you who have brought more than one language to the point of
general usability. that is; do you consider there to be some discrete
point from where it is a good idea to start participating in relays and
translation exercises with one's fledgling language? and if so, what
defines this point?

for certain, there is nothing like actual use for expanding one's
dictionary and honing the grammatical details. but starting too early
has its own dangers, such as producing lexical entries and morphologic
or syntactic mechanisms which are too much geared towards solving that
particular problem.
