Twitter puede ser una estrategia divertida para mejorar el español. Han hecho investigaciones sobre el valor de Twitter como herramienta en el estudio de un lenguaje extranjera. Puedes mirar una presentación de cómo estudiantes de inglés en China han usado Twitter para practicar el inglés.
REMEMBER: Unlike Facebook where only your friends can see your status updates, in Twitter, anyone in the entire universe can see your updates. Don't write what you don't want everyone to see! Don't use profanity or reveal personal information. Just because people aren't following you doesn't mean that they cannot see what you have written. THERE IS NO PRIVACY ON TWITTER!!!
I won't follow you unless you want me to. But if you want me to see something (in Spanish!) that you have tweeted write @ProfesoraWright somewhere in the tweet and then I will see it (even if I don't follow you). The same can be said if you want Shakira to see your declaration tweet of undying love, just include @shakira somewhere in your tweet and surely she will reciprocate the gesture. jajajajaaaaaaa...
