Now that I have it . . .

Hello all,

I have been working (slowly) on my conlang for some
time now and I think I have the basics down.  But now
I have this dilema that I thought I would ask all you.
 Now that I have it, HOW DO I LEARN IT???  I have been
doing some translation, which expands my vocabulary
remarkably, but I don't like to translate from English
(or any other language for that matter) to my conlang,
because inevitably my conlang gets the flavor of the
original language.  So, I have been just writting
simple things in it, but this is rather slow.

Now, all conlangers, O Enlinguened Ones and
Idiomschemers, what do you suggest?
