If you are looking for a French twitter account where you can learn in bits, but very regularly, Daily French is your best bet.
The French-teaching account promises to tweet a new French word every hour, and it does live up to that promise.
As you see above, it publishes a new (anchor) word, then it adds three other related words that are likely to be used in the same scenario. It also adds the right pronoun for each.

— Learn Quick French (@quickfrench) February 9, 2021
This Twitter French account is a very interesting one. This is because of its approach to teaching, which involves quote-retweeting many other Twitter French-Learning accounts.
As you see above, it teaches French words and phrases by building on existing posts from other pages. Therefore, every post is like a two-in-one learning – it’s own tweet and the retweeted one.
It’s major advantage is that, once you discover this account, you will easily find many other Twitter accounts to learn French.
14. Master Your French @myourfrench
Découvrir le pot aux roses signifie découvrir le secret ou les dessous d’une affaire, une supercherie.
#masteryoufrech #apprendrefrancais pic.twitter.com/fW08SjRWaJ— Master Your French 🇫🇷 (@myourfrench) February 12, 2021
French is notoriously difficult to pronounce and hear, as lots of alphabets are silent; therefore, words are also pronounced together. As a result, it’s possible for you to be able to read French well, and speak it to some extent, while still struggling to hear and pronounce certain words correctly – at least, that’s been my own experience.
If you can relate with that and want to improve your listening and pronunciation, Master Your French promises to help you do just that.
