### Roadmap
-
+
Here a tentative roadmap:
#### A) Support vocabulary and sentences from [Learn These Words First](http://learnthesewordsfirst.com/)
This website advocates the idea of a multi-layered dictionary.
At the core, there are about 300 essential words.
The choice of these words is inspired by the semantic primitives of [NSM
(Natural Semantic Metalanguage)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_semantic_metalanguage).
-The essential words are introduced in twelve lessons. Each lesson put the Words
-in examplar sentences and pictures.
+The essential words are introduced in twelve lessons. Each lesson put the words
+in exemplar sentences and pictures.
The project sub-goals are:
- To inject the 300 core words into Zenlish lexicon,
- Zenlish should be able to parse all the example sentences
- Also Zenlish should determine the semantics (i.e. meaning) of the sentences
