It sounds to me like this language will not be practical until several of us congregate together and start speaking it and teaching it to kids.

 

I think it depends on what you mean by “practical”. So long as you’re on the internet while communicating, it is easy to look up definitions as you write, and if you know where to look, you can find information to help you make any grammatical construct the language has. Some of the trickier ones might take some work making them work properly, but sometimes that can even happen in a person’s native language. But such a community as you have described would be good for getting lojban to be thought of more as a “speaking language” rather than only as a “writing language”.
