I just made a Twiiter account for myself a few days ago. I didn't really want to do this at first, but then I thought that it would help because I can practice a sentence at a time and that's not so intimidating. I can mention the many interesting language-related articles I find online but don't often write about here. I plan to make this part of my next log project and general language studies. I haven't yet written anything and I don't know how to follow anyone yet, but I'm sure it's not too difficult! I'll post a link in my profile here after I experiment a little with it.

Twitter is excellent foreign language practise because the limit is 140 letters/signs, so you are forced to keep your messages short. And you can also subscribe to newspapers in your target languages which provide you with short tweets which contain links (so you may read a whole article as well, if you like).

Yes, definitely. Until a month or so ago, I didn't know the word for "earthquake" in Turkish. I had no reason to. But seeing it in pretty much every twitter news headline for two weeks drummed it into my head.

Twitter's great for current events.
