Using Twitter in Your Language Learning (Japanese)

A few months ago, I wrote a series of blog posts on my language learning blog, Aspiring Polyglot, on how Twitter can be used for language learning and practice. The posts can be found here, here, here and here.

I've been searching for Twitter accounts which may be useful for those of you who are learning Japanese. People who don't have a Twitter account can still access all of the links listed below, so there is no need to rush off and create an account if you don't want to. Here are some of the accounts I've found so far :
Some of these accounts are not updated regularly but they are still worth a look. ADV_JPN_GRMMR hasn't been updated since July but the archives contain some useful information about Japanese grammar. Students aiming for JLPT Levels 1 and 2 should consider adding kanjireadable, kanji_oneisan and kotoba_app to their bookmarks.

If you know of any other accounts which may be useful for anyone who is learning Japanese, feel free to leave a comment.

    I don't know any Japanese ones, but was wondering if you or any readers have recommendations for Korean language or Korean-learning Twitter accounts.
    I've been following @koreankorean (a very helpful and active account) and @koreanlanguage (from Byki). Any other good ones?

    I'd also like to throw out a recommendation for @asiancha - a literary journal also with an "eye on East Asia," to steal your phrasing. Being a literary publication, they analyze selected poems as well.

    Hi Cbae,

    Thanks for the Twitter links! I'm going to add a link to a list of East Asia-related Twitter accounts to the top menu within the next few days. :)

    I've come across a few Twitter accounts that may be useful :

    KoreanClass101
    KoreaNthusiast
    koreanwords

    I have to say that @koreankorean is perhaps the most useful Korean-learning account I've come across.
