I've said it before, but the problem with having only a hundred words is that they are the hardest one hundred words in any languages. To a foreign learner, easy words are hard, and hard words are easy.
To someone learning English as a foreign language, "banish" is easy to understand: it has just one meaning, so once you memorize it, you can recognize it whenever it's used.
"Turn out", on the other hand, has half a dozen meanings and you have to rely on context.
In the extreme case, imagine explaining the word "the" to someone whose native language doesn't have an article.
