Twitter: another tool for efficient language learning

No hassle and pressure! Just read and tweet!

Around nine months ago I started using twitter on a daily basis.
First motivation was to group the news about spheres of my job at one place. But as an experienced linguist amateur, I also thought how I could use it to improve my language skills.

After some time, I came to several ways of using it efficiently for language learning:
1. Read news in your target language.
2. Find native speakers to communicate in your target language.
The first one includes following newspapers or blogs reading them and commenting them.
The second one includes finding natives with the same interests, following them and interacting with them.
140 signs massage will enable you to learn the core most frequently used words and will make you polish their usage up to the automatic level.
As an advantage, Twitter provides you with time to think your comment over, without worries and hassle, like during the live conversation and write only one sentence or several short messages, consisting of two or three words, which may perfectly suit for a beginner. Also Twitter really helps to be up-to-date with live language and slang.
