Why Taking Notes by Hand Helps You Learn Greek Faster
Did you know that taking notes by hand is one of the most powerful tools for learning a new language?

According to research published by the Association for Psychological Science, students who write notes by hand gain a deeper understanding of material than those who type. The act of writing by hand helps with memory retention, critical thinking, and long-term comprehension.
Another study featured by Tecnológico de Monterrey highlights that handwritten notes improve concentration and encourage better engagement during lessons.
For students in our Greek classes—especially children learning Greek as a second language—this means improved vocabulary recall, better sentence structure, and stronger writing skills.
Tips for Parents
- Encourage Regular Review: Set aside time each week for your child to revisit their notes and handouts.
- Organize Materials: Ensure that all class materials are kept in the A4 folder for easy access.
- Promote Active Note-Taking: Discuss the importance of jotting down key points during lessons to reinforce learning.
By fostering these habits, you’re supporting your child’s language development and helping them build lifelong learning skills.
