Been trying do the exercise, but failed...

Where do I find this template and practically where and how do I combine? I have so far made two custom columns, one named Annotations and the secon myshelves.

EDIT: when creating the myshelves column that combine language column field and my own tag, should I instead choose "Column built from other columns, behaves like tags" in the Column Type list?
