RAW captures more detail than JPEG and gives you flexibility in editing, while JPEG is fine for social media or small prints. Your camera's options vary by model, so check your manual and experiment to find what works for your needs.

So you're learning photography.
Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer.
In addition to just saving our photos as either RAW or JPEG, most of our cameras give us the option to save them as small, medium, large, fine. There's even compressed versus non-compressed RAW files.
Okay. So
it's best to look up what all of those things mean for your particular camera because they vary by manufacturer and even sometimes by the camera body itself. Make sure that you're searching Or reading your manual— searching is often a little bit easier— to figure out what all of those mean and the size that they're at. And also maybe just experiment and play with them. See if you can shoot on JPEG Medium or JPEG Large.
Be sure and tell them Large Marge sent ya!
See if that works for your purposes. If you're just saving those to social media, maybe you're getting 4x6 prints, maybe an 8x10 at the most, then it might work for you. And if you're shooting something professionally, shooting in RAW makes a lot of sense. This way you can recover details that are otherwise lost if you're just shooting JPEGs, and you can give your client or the other photographer that you're shooting for much higher quality.
