Bonveni, Peter.

We have a little text at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/
Lingua_Franca_Nova that we give you a good start. I hope you
understand that there is no community of speakers outside the net (at
least not yet!), so "colloquial" doesn't have much meaning still.

Because the accent is completely regular, it paradoxically doesn't
matter too much where you put it. There are a few homonyms in lfn,
but none that are based on differences of stress.

I hope you continue your interest in lfn!

Bondises,

Jorj
