Top tips on how to use
Twitter to learn English:
- Short Sentences
Anlagen:
- There is a 140 character limit on Twitter. This
means everyone writes in short sentences. Reading
short sentences is a great way of practicing your
reading skills on a regular basis
- As Twitter is used every minute of the day, new
words and trends will always be evolving,
which means you will constantly see new
words being used. In time, your vocabulary will
increase
- Communities
- On Twitter, you only have to follow accounts that
you’re interested in. This makes reading easier, as
will be reading topics that genuinely interest you.
- You can follow people who also want to learn
English, or people that teach English as a foreign
language. You can engage in conversation with them
and start your own communities using hashtags.
- Hashtags
- What is hashtag?
- Twitter users use the hashtag symbol to
categorize tweets. These tweets show up more
easily in Twitter search.
- Clicking on a word with a hashtag on any
message shows you all other Tweets marked
with that keywords.
- Hashtags can be placed anywhere in the
Tweet – at the beginning, middle, or end.
