This is a website/mobile app that makes it easier for people to use their native language on Twitter. It provides a menu of common phrases that a user can select and use to compose a tweet. Tweet2Learn is aimed especially at second-language learners of their heritage language, to give them confidence in using a few phrases in the language without worrying about spelling, complicated keyboard input, and so on. Start the conversation!

Tweet2Learn is being developed as part of the Indigenous Tweets project:
