    Honestly, I think you are far better making them yourself. The thing is, you are learning a language and taking pre-written notes will only help you to vomit out information and if this is for an oral or an essay, the examiner will tell what is rote-learned and what's not. Try formulating your own sentences and filling in any unknown vocabulary using google translator or dictionary. This may seem a bit of a pain but it's worth it and you'll remember the new vocabulary much easier than from notes.

    I agree with this except wordreference.com instead of Google Translator. Most teachers wish it was never invented. It gets the message across if you're translating a subject you've never studied but not great if you are trying to come across as proficient in the language.
    Fine if it's just one word but don't do whole sentences
