1. Be an active fan account
If you tweet a lot about them and promote their stuff, they are most likely to follow and notice you. If it’s a singer or band, post about their music. If it’s a Youtuber, post about their most recent video. 2. Tweet a funny meme about them People might like it and you could get retweets and likes, until your memes reach your fave. 3. Reply to their tweets and be witty Turn their notifications on so you always see their tweets in real time and you could reply to them asap while they are still online. If you are witty enough, you might get a notice. 4. Post an artwork They appreciate their fans’ artworks. They might retweet you and if they like it so much, some even use it as their profile pic. 5. Watch out for the “RT for a follow” tweet This is where the ”post notifications on” also comes in handy. You don’t want to miss out when your faves do a follow spree. 6. Tweet when they are online There are some people who don’t tweet but they are online. You can check it on the “likes” of your faves. If s/he recently liked a tweet, that’s when you know when s/he’s online. 7. Buy their merch and tweet them Take a photo of your merch and share it to them. They usually notice those who really support them by buying their stuff. 8. “If this gets ___ RTs, will you follow me?” Get as much RTs as you need until your faves notice you. It takes a lot of effort and some of them really do appreciate this. 9. You can be their street team/update account Familiar with accounts like “Justin Bieber Updates, Arianda Grande Philippines, Taylor Swift Malaysia”? They are most likely to be followed by the artists since they post updates about them and they basically represent the fandom. It does take a lot of effort and time, though, but if you are really dedicated then it’s going to be worth it. 10. Direct Message Some accounts give out DMs with celebrities. Watch out for these accounts. Through this, you can DM your fave even if s/he is not following you. Some of them check their DMs and there’s a bigger chance your message might be opened.

Disclaimer: I am not an expert and I certainly don’t have the perfect English. I don’t even know all of the rules for subject-verb agreement. I also do make a lot of mistakes but I try to at least sound alright using this language. Again, these are things that have personally helped me while I try to improve myself.
1. Listen to the radio Before, using social media isn’t one of my options to kill some time. We didn’t have wifi then and whether you have twitter or not didn’t really matter. So what I would do whenever I was bored was to listen to the radio. Not the “pang-masa” stations but those where the DJs talk in English. My favourites were Magic 89.9, Monster Radio RX 93.1, and Mellow 94.7. I even had favourite DJs and shows then so I knew what time to tune in. You can also try this next time. Instead of just listening to the music, listen to the DJs and learn from them. I even remember those times when I didn’t know some of the words the DJ would say so I would look it up my dictionary. 2. Watch Foreign TV Shows and Films This is very effective for children. They are still young, their minds are fresh and they can learn as much language as they want to. This is scientifically proven I wished I was able to learn more languages when I was younger. My cousin is a living proof. He was exposed with English cartoons and his family would watch foreign films all the time, so even if they didn’t teach him how to speak in English, he was still able to adopt it. It also applies to everyone, not just kids. If we watch more foreign shows and films, we get used to it. Some people can even adopt the accent. 3. Read books written in English I grew up reading English novels. It definitely helped me. The same thing with the radio, when there are some words I don’t understand I look them up on a dictionary. It’s good to have something to read because you can really see how the sentences are constructed. They are definitely more formal than the ones you just hear. 4. Practice Write in English, tweet in English, think in English, talk to people in English. Basically do things in English. You have to practice to be good at something. The same thing goes with learning Mandarin. If you want to learn the language, you have to use it. You can’t just attend a Mandarin class and then after the discussion, you won’t even use it outside. You will forget it so you have to practice. I found something on Messenger app where you can practice your English by talking to a bot. If you have social media accounts, you can also follow people and interact with your international friends. |
