I believe that studying Toki Pona for just 2 weeks can help you become a better language learner.
This is an exercise that I have done twice, and it was well worth it both times.
To be clear, you will NOT become totally fluent in Toki Pona if you study for just two weeks, but you will reach a much higher level in two weeks of studying Toki Pona than in months of studying any other language. This is because Toki Pona is so simple. It only has approximately 120-125 words, and the grammar is about as easy to understand as a language can be. There is no verb conjugation, no noun declensions, no tense, no gender, no plurals, and no other unnecessarily complex aspects of language to hold you back.
Wether or not you want to actually learn the language and become part of an online community, I strongly believe that you will benefit from learning Toki Pona even if it's just for two weeks.
