Given the circumstances, it seems reasonable to make speaking a
longer-term goal than reading and writing, especially if we are
dealing with a conlang whose creator is themselves not fluent in
speaking it yet (a lot more conlangers are good at writing and reading
their conlang than can speak it fluently).
