A couple years ago, I started the meeting with a Lojban sentence, and 
was basically told that people no longer wanted to do this.

The original idea was when we were holding meetings on IRC, and the plan 
was to have people on a back channel translating and explaining things 
in real time.  the actual meeting would be in Lojban, but the process of 
getting things into Lojban would have been greatly assisted, for those 
with insufficient real time skill.

That type of language learning, where a group of learners is attempting 
to communicate in-language, each assisted by a coach that would help 
them find the words and modes of expression they need, has been used to 
achieve rapid fluency in other languages, but it is very intense, and 
hence hard to imagine working over the several weeks of the current 
meetings.

I'd love to see it tried sometime on IRC to have a large group 
discussion with coaching.
