The whole point of social networking sites, of course, is to \u00ab\u043d\u0430\u0439\u0442\u0438<\/u> \u0434\u0440\u0443\u0437\u0435<\/u>\u0439\u00bb<\/strong> [find your friends]. Usually you will be able to search for specific people so that, in Facebook terminology, you can \u00ab\u0434\u043e\u0431\u0430<\/u>\u0432\u0438\u0442\u044c \u0432 \u0434\u0440\u0443\u0437\u044c\u044f<\/u>\u00bb<\/strong> [add to your friends (list)].<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u0421\u043d\u0430\u0447\u0430<\/u>\u043b\u0430\u00bb<\/strong> [At the beginning] of the social networking phenomenon, usually \u00ab\u043c\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0434\u0451\u0436\u044c\u00bb<\/strong> [the youth, young people] were using these websites, but now \u00ab\u043c\u043d\u043e<\/u>\u0433\u043e \u043b\u044e\u0434\u0435<\/u>\u0439\u00bb<\/strong> [many people] use them.<\/p>\n

So, how can using social networking sites help you learn a foreign language? In many ways! \u00ab\u041d\u0430\u043f\u0440\u0438\u043c\u0435<\/u>\u0440\u00bb<\/strong> [For example], you can go to \u00ab\u043d\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0440\u043e<\/u>\u0439\u043a\u0438\u00bb<\/strong> and change your language settings.

If you want to interact with Russian people, you could join \u00ab\u0412 \u041a\u043e\u043d\u0442\u0430<\/u>\u043a\u0442\u0435\u00bb<\/strong> [V Kontakte]. \u00ab\u042d<\/u>\u0442\u043e\u0442 \u0432\u0435\u0431-\u0441\u0430\u0439\u0442 \u043f\u043e\u0445\u043e<\/u>\u0436 \u043d\u0430 \u0424\u0435\u0439\u0441\u0431\u0443\u043a, \u043d\u043e \u043d\u0430 \u0440\u0443<\/u>\u0441\u0441\u043a\u043e\u043c.\u00bb<\/strong> [This website looks like Facebook, but in Russian.] The design is similar to the old Facebook design. \u00ab\u041a \u0441\u043e\u0436\u0430\u043b\u0435<\/u>\u043d\u0438\u044e, \u043d\u0443<\/u>\u0436\u043d\u043e \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0433\u043b\u0430\u0448\u0435<\/u>\u043d\u0438\u0435, \u0447\u0442\u043e<\/u>\u0431\u044b \u0432\u043e\u0439\u0442\u0438<\/u>.\u00bb<\/strong> [Unfortunately, you need an invitation to log in.] If anyone reading this needs an invitation, I may be able to give you one (if I can remember my account password!).<\/p>\n

You can also seek out Russian speakers on \u00ab\u0422\u0432\u0438\u0442\u0442\u0435\u0440\u00bb<\/strong> [Twitter]. \u00ab\u0422\u0432\u0438\u0442\u0442\u0435\u0440 \u0442\u043e<\/u>\u0436\u0435 \u043d\u0430 \u0440\u0443<\/u>\u0441\u0441\u043a\u043e\u043c\u00bb<\/strong> [Twitter is also in Russian], so you can learn some new vocabulary. Also, with Twitter, you communicate with \u00ab\u043a\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0442\u043a\u0438\u0435 \u0441\u043e\u043e\u0431\u0449\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f\u00bb [short messages], which means you won’t get too overwhelmed with very long sentences.<\/p>\n
