The lesson screen is divided into 4 areas or frames:
 
 
Caesar, I,1
[1.1] All Gaul is divided into three parts, one of which the Belgae inhabit, the Aquitani another, those who in their own language are called Celts, in our Gauls, the third. All these differ from each other in language, customs and laws. 
Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres, quarum unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae, nostra Galli appellantur. Hi omnes lingua, institutis, legibus inter se differunt. Gallos ab Aquitanis Garumna flumen, a Belgis Matrona et Sequana dividit.

This has the effect that the structure of the sentences (and most of them are very long and intertwined) is now clearer apparent. And Caesar's complex sentence structure (though very methodically and clear to the Latinist) is often the greatest obstacle for those of us who are starting out with Caesar.
