Do you write down notes in notebooks when you're learning languages? Do you have a separate one for each language? If so, how do you organize them? Do you have your own personal dictionary? A journal? Do you do things online or by computer instead?
I'm interested in how you organize your notes, if you indeed use notebooks. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I do it all on computer. One text file for each language. In the file, I keep track of every program I've completed, every hour spent listening to the radio, and every hour spent self-talking/practicing/learning/etc in the language thus far. I find it helps me stay on track with each language.

I tend to use one notebook for each of the languages I'm learning (or perfecting). I use them mostly to jot new vocabulary or phrases down but I have the bad habit of rarely going back and re-reading what I've already written!

I usually have a little notebook (pocket-sized) for each language. I basically scribble in vocabulary, phrases, or grammar points that I learn throughout the day. I later make flashcards for the vocabulary. Other than that though, I've never kept successful notes for language learning since I typically never re-read anything; I either collect it by osmosis or not at all.
I did go through the process of making a spreadsheet for the flashcards I had made at one point with the intention of keeping track of how many words I had apparently learnt. This fad only lasted a month though. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I make liberal use of notebooks because I use so many learning materials and need somewhere to keep track of what I'm learning.
For Japanese in particular, I have one notebook with the weekly kanji and vocabulary I learn, and a second book I use for everything else: writing down new expressions and vocabulary from my weekly readings, doing the answers to questions in my texts, and composing my own sentences for my tutor to check. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I use whatever notepad is available and I attempt to keep some kind of order but I tend to do like lady_skywalker mentioned, i.e not look at them again.
Now that's what I call organisation! Edited by patuco on 15 September 2006 at 7:10am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've always organized my notebooks chronologically.

I usually purchase a couple hundred paper sheets and just scribe whatever words I learn.At one point I thought of actually keeping what I write,not so much to review but rather to one day remember how long it took me to learn the language,but I soon dropped the idea as I found it nearly impossible to keep track of thousands upon thousands of paper sheets,it wasn't worth the effort.
