We operate a twitter account for German which has daily words, twitter games and help with learning German. We also try to initiate conversations in German and correct mistakes where possible (not always easy with 140 characters haha!) http://www.twitter.com/DoubleTranslate We will be introducing other languages in the near future too but look around, there are some good ones out there. We also have a Facebook group, just search for "Learn German with Native Germans" in Facebook and you should find us. Twitter is a great way to keep your language ticking over.

What origin is your surname? Am a learner of Italian and receive the Learn10 E-Mails. They have daily tweets also. Ten words in most languages. http://www.twitter.com/Learn10Italian http://www.twitter.com/Learn10Japanese http://www.twitter.com/Learn10Chinese http://www.twitter.com/Learn10German etc and so on. Czech, Dutch, Latin (think it's blank tho' oh well), Portuguese also. And if you're so inclined: Tagalog, Esperanto (isn't that 'universal' Spanish-like language dead?), Afrikaans, Danish, Russian, Norwegian, Turkish, Arabic, Swedish, Welsh. Only ones I haven't seen Learn10 tweet are Gaelic (Irish Celtic) and Icelandic, both very difficult. Indian and Asian languages like Thai, Malay, Indonesian, Burmese, Vietnamese, Nepalese are other notable exceptions since they cover other obscure ones. Hmm almost a long enough comment to be a post. Perhaps I can make this a post on Twitip ;-D Note: Some of the Learn10 accounts may be inactive, however they are still useful as an archive as they have over 800 tweets or so. Can copy and paste into text editor to then merge into a flash card (cue cards) page to print double sided. There are some free open source electronic memory card programs to learn new words on computer also. Tweet me if you're interested and I'll reply with 3 of the best for you. ;-) http://www.twitter.com/AdamoGiovane http://www.twitter.com/Learn10 Thanks for writing this Daniele.

But I agree, it's a very interesting complement to using books and audio.
