Many people in the conlang community attempt to design international auxiliary languages specifically designed to be much easier to learn than natural languages. Such languages include Toki Pona, Blissymbols, Unish etc.
The international language Esperanto was published in 1887 and now has some hundred thousand regular speakers and several thousand native speakers. It has a wikipedia version (> 200 000 articles), the Chinese government publishes daily news in Esperanto and Google Translate offers translation. It is considered that you need about 6 weeks / 150 class hours to reach a similar level like in the above mentioned languages.
