You can add all the vocabulary into one page, or you can do a new page for each one. Either way is fine with me.
I would like to be better able to tell where the sentences from the text are, though. And some of your words don’t have the sentences yet. Be sure to add them.
It is much easier to read now, but you still have not used the sentences from the text.
Thank your advice!
I have already updated the vocabulary1!
