I don't think the creator is under the impression that this will be as useful as Spanish on your holiday to Benidorm. But there are other uses. Lots of people believe they're bad at languages, mostly due to the inept, half-hearted way they're taught in schools. However learning an easy language like this could give people the confidence to attempt a "proper" language.

Also by having to come up with your own definitions for everything and still be understood, it sounds like a fantastic tool for boosting your mental agility as well as being fun.

What happened when I tried to learn Toki Pona in 48 hours using memes

Toki Pona is an invented language that borrows from Dutch, English and Chinese. It has only 120 words but is two days enough time to become fluent?

Very interesting! The hardest thing about having a conversation in another language is realising that you don't know the word for a specific thing and then having to come up with another way of expressing yourself without missing a beat. It's like playing Articulate.

We were moving house and I remember wanting to say "that pile of CDs" in Spanish, but not knowing the word for pile. I substituted "mountain" which is clearly wrong but is still perfectly understandable. This language seems tailor-made for people who are good at doing that sort of thing.
