Helpful links
There are so many cool websites and programs that help us learn languages and just work with information more productively, so let me share my favorites with you today. This will be a minimal set of links that I use quite often.
The first and the best tool I`ve ever found is
I use this website both for English and Spanish and it helps me to find the most suitable and authentic way to express my thoughts. Moreover, as there`s a huge data on the basis of which the translations are made, the chances are great to translate a phrase that you can`t find in any other dictionary.
The second app I downloaded on my smartphone and I use it when I`m getting to the university. It`s called “Learn English Every Day” and it`s basically a mobile app for this website:

It`s great that there`s a wide choice of categories: the word of the day, drama stories, news reports, Shakespeare speaks (it`s about the phrases we borrowed from Shakespeare`s plays) and many others. Honestly, I haven`t tried yet the app of Voice of America, but I`m on my way to do it…
And the third link is not the one that I use very often, but I think some of you may like it. Last year I was using memory cards on my smartphone to learn new words, and this year I`m planning to return to this nice habit. I`m sharing with you the link to a computer program that makes actual flashcards with thе words you need to memorize. This is it:
Of course, you can do the cards yourself, but these ones look better and it`s faster to make them!
Oh, and there`s one more thing I want to share with you. But it`s about learning Spanish. Once I came across an interesting YouTube channel where 3 Spaniards create educative videos. I like the way they put the information, it`s entertaining and helpful to watch their videos:

Most of all I like the series called “Agencia Ele”
