Is this the way to go? Has anyone here tried to learn this language?

Not Interlingua. But I am a supporter and speaker of Ido. I don't really know or care much at this point if it's going to work. I know it's worked for me, since it's allowed me to communicate with people I didn't share any other language in common with. That's enough for me.

If you learn an artificial language then you can only communicate with other people who have learnt the same artificial language. Seems a bit of a pointless exercise. I speak English, French and German but I understand, and can get by, in Spanish, Italian and Turkish. I can get the gist of Russian and Arabic. The first hurdle is learning your first foreign language, after that the barriers are down and you begin to understand that people speak different languages. My niece came to Switzerland when she was 8 years old and went to school for a day with my daughter. When she came back at lunch time, I asked her how she had got on? 'It was all right, but they speak funny,' was the reply. Hello! You're in Switzerland!
She didn't learn her lesson. After she married she went off with her husband to France and surprise, surprise, no one was interested in employing them, since neither of them spoke French!

I've heard of Interlingua. It's an artificial language. I have learned Esperanto, but not fluently. Esperanto is the most widely spoken of the "artificial" languages and is probably more useable.

I've heard of it, but haven't tried to learn it. Here's an article on it, though:

Most of the people I know who've wanted to learn a global language have gone with Esperanto.
