1. Introduction
What impact will Colish ideally have on the world?
This question influences CoWorld’s policies on what it wants and will do.
Below are a couple of suggestions and comments to serve as a framework for discussions.
2. Short term target
2.1 The Co’Billion
Our short term target for the next two years is for Colish to be the standard dictionary on 1 billion mobiles.
Comments
- Technically doable
3. Middle term target
3.1 The Co'100
In seven years to have a committment from a hundred countries to have Colish as the default written English.
Comments
- How many policy makers and experts do we need to engage with?
- Are we talking about 100 countries x 5k experts = 0.5 million?
4. Long term targets
4.1 The Co'5-10-15
The following was born out of a marketing idea - the 5-10-15:
Increase the writing efficiency of English by 5 %, the teaching efficiency by 10 %, the learning-to-read-and-write efficiency by 15 %.
Comments
- How can you measure such values?
- The above will depend on the environment, if there is access to AI, learning materials, the proficiency of the teachers.
5. Decade targets
5.1 The Co’One-to-One
A pledge to ensure that every dollar/pound/euro invested accelerates the English learning experience of one child.
Comments
- If CoWorld costs 250 million over 10 years (with offices in countries, etc.), we need to reach 250 million children.
- Assumption that the teaching is via the existing channels. Colish is about spelling.
- Have to work hand-in-hand with policy makers in IN and CN.
- Technically doable
- With the world churning out 50+ million children a year who will be learning EN (i.e. CN, IN) and we get into the market in 5 years, then we have 5 years to help 50 mio / years = 250 mio.
- Even if it costs 10x so much, that is still cheap.
5.2 The Co’Mars
That Colish be the first language on Mars.
Comments
- Technically doable as Elon Musk / SpaceX wants to fly there within the next 10 years.
- CoWorld will have to be fast with this as Elon is planning to send the first people to Mars in 2024.
