That makes 26 terms, so this could take half a term if allocating a single word each school day.

There is a natural tendency for the student to want to add an object to the sentence, eg. the girl loves the dove (puella columbam amat) but that comes on the next page.

I’ve put in accent marks here. If there are only two syllables, then the first is accented. I haven’t accented ĂĄquila as the first letter is capitalised in the book, and accents on capital letters look odd, so if a word has more than two syllables, no accent marks, and the first letter is a capital vowel, you can assume that first letter is accented. Usquequo is a good example of that.
