I agree.
I don't want to offend anyone, but Tatoeba as is can't be very helpful for people who have just started.

I know I should set up a sphinx myself and look for those sentences. But it seems like a lot of job and I don't know how much stress using a script to add those sentences to my list would give to the tatoeba server.

Any tech genius willing to do the heavy lifting out there?

He is probably asking for a collection of sentences that covers either the most basic(the most used) English vocabulary or grammar.

I remember using something like that for learning my first 500 English words or so. And there was a book written in the most unnatural bare bones English which was actually pretty helpful to me.
