Why online lectures can be hard in a second language
- The professor speaks fast, and you can’t pause a live class.
- Accents and quiet audio make some words hard to catch.
- New terms come up all the time, and there is no time to look them up.
- It’s hard to listen, understand and take notes at the same time.
