Chinese
This weeks topic is fairly straightforward: How can we use Twitter to help us learning
Chinese? This can be divided into three separate categories:
3. Chinese input
Generally speaking, the first two categories are more interesting because its much
harder than you might think to find people who write mostly about how to learn. Thus,
this post is the result of hard work.
Naturally, this doesnt mean that I have managed to find everything of interest on
Twitter! In fact, part of the reason I write this article is to expand my horizons, so dont
hesitate to recommend more/better Twitter feeds, please leave a comment! Im
mostly interested in suggestions belonging to category one and two.
Chinese Hacks
Sinosplice
Critical Owl
Brandon
Lingomi
Chineese SE
about China)
Even though TV and film are prominent features of this feed, its actually about much
more than that, including language learning, vocabulary, idioms and much more.
Belongs both in this list and the one below about Chinese content.
Scott Young
Wiktor Kostrzewski
Language Mastery
Chinese)
This feed is mostly filled with media, vocabulary and the occasional link about Chinese
language. Its mostly directed towards beginner or intermediate students, but its
worthwhile for more advanced learners as well.
VOA Chinese
Nciku
Transparent Chinese
Chinese to Learn
Please let me know! Any suggestions will be put on my watch list and added later if I
think that they provide something which is not represented above or do it better than
those I have already introduced. Thank you!

A great list, and Ive now followed many of them. It would be really useful if you
did a similar thing for Sina Weibo accounts that are good for learning Chinese.

I enjoy Toms posts on Seeing Red in China about teaching in China. He has
unique insight, I think. (@SeeingRedChina)
Great list. I dont follow more than half of these. Will have to poke around a bit
more. !

but I think China and Chinese are much more in focus than other countries.
I would its about 99.5% China / Chinese. I dont actually *really* learn Japanese
or Korean, just meddle with them and admire the look of the writing
To address that, Ive actually set up a new presence which Ill shamelessly plug
here. Chinese Boost ( https://twitter.com/ChineseBoost ) focuses entirely
on Mandarin Chinese, without all the random stuff Ive tended to put up on East
Asia Student over the years.
