Using a foreign language only delays the “enemy”, which might be tactically valuable depending on the situation but the message will eventually get cracked, have no doubt about that. It’s not a secure way of hiding your information and it’s foolish to even consider it. Some forensic dude’s gonna analyze your shit and it’s all going to become 100% transparent in no time at all.
Encryption, on the other hand, can be mathematically proven to be EXTREMELY unlikely to be cracked even by the best efforts of well funded experts, when properly implemented and used.

If it’s an existing language then it’s not secure.
If you make up your own language you’ll waste a thousand hours and someone might use the notes you used to learn it.
Just use damn encryption, it’s easy and fast. Also has additional benefits. If someone wants to force you to give them/translate your notes you can’t do much (they’ll know when your translation is inconsistent).
With encryption you can hide a volume inside another one. If you enter the weaker password you can put decoy files there, with just your run of the mill notes. While behind a stronger password you hide your actual diary.
