Toki Pona is a philosophical artistic constructed language known for its small vocabulary. It was created by Canadian linguist and translator Sonja Lang for the purpose of simplifying thoughts and communication. It was first published online in 2001 as a draft, and later in complete form in the book Toki Pona: The Language of Good in 2014. A small community of speakers developed in the early 2000s. While activity mostly takes place online in chat rooms, on social media, and in other groups, there were a few organized in-person meetings during the 2000s and 2010s.

jan lentan's toki pona course: https://rnd.neocities.org/tokipona/

I also made a public anki deck of all the phrases in those lessons.

I wouldn't say I'm fluent tho, we're really lacking in toki pona audio and conversational resources.

Where is your deck? I will check that web site, it looks nice.

Regarding audio I don't have issues since Spanish is my native language and its sounds are practically identical to it, but I do feel like I need to practice sentence creation more. I had learned all the words in a deck which were all the official ones but I didn't managed to get a good grasp and now I've forgotten them.
