Excercitia Latina, which follow Lingua Latina chapter by chapter, will give you enough practice to get a firm grip on each chapter's material.
All of them can be bought on amazon, or acquired by other means if you wish to cut your costs. While Lingua Latina is a great textbook, I would advise getting some supplements to augment your studying process. You can understand it easily, and you've already learned 4 words! To give you an idea, its first sentence is "Rōma in Italiā est". It's based on the natural method: it is written completely in Latin, beginning with very simple phrases which speaker of any European language can understand, and slowly progresses further. Lingua Latina, on the other hand, focuses on reading comprehension and is considered by /r/latin users to be a superior learning method. It focuses on rote memorization of grammar. It seems to be a consensus at /r/latin that Wheelock's, while being a good textbook, teaches to translate, not to read. Firstly, it's not going to be very easy, but it will be a lot of fun - learning Latin will teach you a lot about linguistics, history, and even English. Hi! It's great that you want to learn Latin yourself - I was in a similar position not long ago, and can share my experience.
