Language classes, boring but helpful. My third year in French class and I got to learn a lot. We have a rule in language class where we are not allowed to take notes during class. At first I did not understand such a absurd concept, but as the years went by I slowly began to understand that we rely on notes so much that we don’t even understand what we learn. Don’t get me wrong taking notes is not a bad thing, but I believe that actually listening and asking your friends for help is way better because it actually allows you to communicate with other students rather then just reading it off your book.
