It would be difficult because they don’t know who Darmak and Jalad are. What did they do at Tanagra? How do you explain what that means when that is the language?
Theb, how do you explain technical details or say something “I’d like to order a milkshake” when every phrase is in reference to something else?
Ok sure, but now tell me how to build a starship in this language.

Assume it was Darmok and Jalad ordering a milkshake. You take the kid to order a milkshake, point and say "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" and now they know. It's the same way you teach language to anyone. Point to the picture of the zebra and say "zebra" over and over.
Ok, but Darkak and Jalad is a concept, not a thing you can point at
