The best answers will then be featured on this blog. In the first edition, I asked how you use Twitter to learn Japanese. Here are the the few answers I’ve got!

Stuart Hicks, a game development student planning to go to Japan, is using Twitter to learn new vocabulary reading Japanese language tweets with rikaikun.
@nihongoup 1) Links/updates about new articles. 2) I read Japanese tweets and try to see how much of it I can understand.

@nihongoup The great thing about reading Japanese on Twitter is that it can turn Japanese into bite size chucks.

Ramen Fanatic uses Twitter to stay updated on latest Japan-related articles and test himself reading Japanese language tweets.
