For ease of learning, I suggest reading the lessons as they are numbered.
Meaning, read lesson 0 before lesson 1, lesson 10 before lesson 11..

As the texts are written, they will be slightly chopped up for easy
digestion, and their outlines will be covered here. I (the editor) will
give them a rating of stars (*), 1 being very easy, 10 being very hard.
