The thing that really sucks about Catalan is that even using proper names, you don't say "Robert", you often say "el Robert" or "la Cecilia". In the third person I can use "li" for everything, which is not really correct, but I am a foreigner, so they will cut me some slack.
It sounds like a fun challenge, though. As an English speaker, it is a huge struggle to shoehorn the idea of gendering everything (including inanimate objects) into your head, it will be interesting to see if I can shoehorn it out from the inside.
