> is the unnatural nature of Lojban something that blocks it from being lea=
rned in that way?


I doubt it. For example, I am fairly fluent in the programming language C++=
, such that I create syntactically correct and sensible code on the fly, an=
d I would say C++ is even more unnatural than Lojban.


I actually think it will be possible to learn Lojban even more correctly th=
an natural languages, because software will be able to automatically and qu=
ickly point out mistakes, given the language is unambiguous. This computer-=
checking definitely speeds up the learning of programming languages. There =
are Lojban parsers, but I am not sure if there is yet anything quite at the=
 same calibre of a static code analyser for programming languages.

Is it possible to achieve the sort of fluency in Lojban that you can in oth=
er languages where you can sort of intuitively create grammatically correct=
 and sensible sentences on the fly, or is the unnatural nature of Lojban so=
mething that blocks it from being learned in that way?
