One of the thing I had not realized and that was explained to me by a linguist, was that the biggest difference between "natural" and artificial languages, is that the former have an inherent useless complexity and that artificial languages are almost always much, much easier to learn and use.
I guess vocabulary is always a sticking point and will tend to be easier in some languages and others, but I think a universal grammar could already be agreed on.
