If you’re like us, you spend a chunk of time mindlessly scrolling through Twitter every day — laughing at memes, reading political hot takes or just spacing out completely. But if you’re trying to learn a language, Twitter can actually serve a more productive purpose. There are many Spanish Twitter accounts you can follow to pair with your language studies and help reinforce what you’ve learned.

We’ve compiled five Spanish Twitter handles you should check out and consider following if you’re trying to learn the language.

Spanish Twitter Accounts To Follow

1. SpanishDict @SpanishDict

Vocabulary is the bedrock of language learning, so following accounts that tweet a word of the day in Spanish can serve as the perfect supplement to your studies. Every day, the account tweets a Spanish word with its English translation and two example sentences (each translated into English, as well).

2. CNN en Español @CNNEE

Consuming news in the language you’re learning is a great way to improve your reading comprehension skills while also giving you a glimpse into the political and cultural aspects of other countries. Start by seeing if you can understand the headline CNN tweets, and then challenge yourself by clicking into the full article.

3. Radio Ambulante @radioambulante

We’re big proponents of using Spanish podcasts to help improve your listening skills, and Radio Ambulante is the best of the best when it comes to podcasts in Spanish. Again, you can start by deciphering the text of each tweet, which is usually a description of the linked podcast episode, and if you’re interested in the topic, try listening to the episode.

4. Real Madrid C.F. @realmadrid

This one’s for all you futból (“soccer”) fans out there. Real Madrid is one of the most popular and highest-earning teams in the world, so even if you’re not a fan, you can learn about the intensity of Spanish soccer culture by following them on Twitter. Their tweets will help you pick up some sports-related vocabulary and also feature some great highlight videos.

5. Superholly @superholly

Our final Spanish Twitter account recommendation also made our list of YouTubers. Superholly is bilingual and makes content in both English and Spanish. Her tweets also use a combination of both languages, but she primarily tweets in Spanish, often about politics, her life and her YouTube videos.
