Chinese learners/communities on Twitter

[sbelous]

This forum already has a great community and is a growing storehouse of knowledge for Chinese learners. But, does anyone know of any Twitter communities that are similarly awesome? That is, are there any accounts to follow that provide great content based on retweeting their followers' great content?

I guess I'm looking for a way to interact with the chinese-learning community via Twitter since it's something I already use and helps keep everything in one place. Of course, I think forums will always be a bit more close-nit and detailed, but its a lot more difficult for me to check/post on a regular basis while on-the-go.

I'm spending quite a lot of time reading about learning Chinese, both online and offline, and share most of the cool things I find. I also do my best to share whatever interesting things other people find, either related to Chinese in particular or at least language learning that can be applied to Chinese. I don't share much actual language (sentence of the day, idiom of the week or whatever), there are simply too much of that already. My Twitter account: @HackingChinese.

I also wrote an article about other interesting Twitter accounts for Chinese learners (31 Twitter feeds to help you learn Chinese), similarly focused on learning Chinese, sorted into "learning Chinese", "learning languages" and "learning in general". That post also contains some suggestions if you actually want to read more tweets in Chinese rather than in English about Chinese. Enjoy!

Good idea. I have an account on Weibo but its a bit difficult to navigate not knowing hardly any Mandarin, and especially the fact that I don't even know how to pronounce the symbols ;)

Im gonna check out some of these twitter people

Hello everyone,

Nice to meet all of you, and thanks for the great resources.

@Joseph Kimbrell: What's your Weibo account-name? (I assume it's Sina Weibo?)

@sbelous: You may wish to browse to my blog once in a while (http://unlazify.wordpress.com). I have a recurring weekly segment, where I aggregate and filter through some of the best Tweets for studying Chinese.

Hey eyesplusears - Yes, it is Sina Weibo - its www.weibo.com/seksinchina -

this is from an old band of mine, and unfortunately you can't change the username with weibo (I don't think, at least)

Hit me up!
