How do I make notes to study Korean or what kind of layout for learning Korean words and phrases on notecards?
Hello~
What kind of resources I am using affect how I make my notes.
In general I don’t like writing in textbooks so I can re-sell them later. However, I make an exception for my Korean textbooks. I would encourage people to use heaps of highlighting and small notes to themselves in a physical textbook if they have one.
(Example of a dialogue section in my textbook)
( Example from the grammar section - still have notes but not as much the dialogue section)
There are a lot of times when I don’t use a physical textbook, so I keep a little notebook.
Roughly I split it into three parts;
Grammar - I will dedicate a page for each new grammar point;
Vocab - new vocab + example sentences;
Sentences - random sentences I found interesting and other things that don’t fit elsewhere.

And finally, of course not all your notes will be ‘pretty’ I often use scrap pieces of paper to think through ideas. Also, I have messy notes from my Korean class as I try to quickly get down what the teacher says.
In conclusion, it depends on the resource your using and what you like personally. Definitely not a ‘right’ way of doing it.
