This is the last in the Twitter series. In my previous two articles Top Japan-related people to follow on Twitter and Top Japan-related websites to follow on Twitter I listed only English language Twitterers. This time I’ve put together a list of twitterers who tweet in Japanese.
The 140 character limit means that you won’t be overwhelmed with Japanese. It’s perfect for reading now and again to help keep the kanji and kana you’ve learnt fresh in your mind. This list contains people who would normally tweet in English but use Japanese either as practice or to help others learn.
- makiko (maki) on Twitter @mainichinihongo
- jrfiction on Twitter @jrfiction
- learnkanji on Twitter @learnkanji
- Marcel Grünauer on Twitter @1day1kanji
I’ve kept the list to only those who have updated within the past month, so the list is small right now. If you know anyone actively teaching or practicing Japanese on Twitter please let me know.
There’s also another massive Japanese language resource on Twitter…
You guessed it, native Japanese twitterers. You can use the Twitter search to find people talking about certain topics or you can even just search for people in Japan and pick a few at random like I did, I’m sure they’ll be grateful for the follow. I don’t understand half of what is said by those I do follow, but I’m slowly learning and seeing the language every day helps me a lot. Eventually I will thank them in Japanese and start a conversation!
If you want to be added or removed from this list please contact me or leave a comment.
