Organization of files / Separate music from speech

I have about a 1000 songs in my iTunes library, and I have a question that might be silly, but I use the Music app on my Macbook extremely rarely, namely to buy songs, and then I just listen to them from my iPhone.

Now I've bought a CD with a language course, it contains 8 lessons and 40 sound files (mp.3) per lesson, i.e. 3200 mp3 files. I would like to import these files, and here's my concern: If I want to listen to music, and I choose anything other than 'order by album', every few songs I'll have to skip a language course files wich can be pretty annoying, especially while driving. Is there a way to avoid that? Like creating a section or something that's separate from the music files?

You can create separate playlists, then shuffle music from a music only playlist, but it might be better to convert the language course to an audiobook. See Organizing audiobook chapters - Apple Community for advice on setting the metadata up for best results before you import the tracks into the Books app. Once working there you can remove the tracks from Music and then sync to update your device.
