Nearly forgot- Sara's decided to start at S and work her way down to Z, and I'm starting from the top and working my way down, so you might want to consider picking a section for yourself as well.
Also, since the three lessons overlap, the all-inclusive getting all items, the"sumti" lesson getting the "noun"s, and the "place structure" lesson getting the "phrase"s, please also add the relevant items to the other two lessons when you make them. You can do that by clicking on the "My Items" link at the bottom of any page, selecting the "created" tab, selecting the items for the lesson, and clicking the "add items to goal" icon at the bottom of the list.
