“Following someone on Twitter you are really interested in is good for improving your grasp of contemporary idiom! I follow Pussy Riot and it has improved my Russian no end. Only 140 characters to grapple with and I really want to know what they are saying, which always helps. Oh and the Russian for troll on Twitter comes straight from the English.”
