when doing a course in my second language, should I take notes in my native language or in my second language?

[round snow]

Taking notes in your second language can be beneficial for several reasons:

1. It helps reinforce your language learning by practicing vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure.
2. It allows you to better understand the content since the notes are in the same language as the course material.
3. It can improve your ability to think in your second language, which can be helpful for both coursework and real-life situations.

However, if you find that taking notes in your second language slows you down or hinders your comprehension, it might be more practical to take notes in your native language. This way, you can focus on understanding the course material without getting overwhelmed by language barriers.

Ultimately, the choice depends on your language proficiency and comfort level. You may want to experiment with both methods and see which works best for you.
