First of all
I would like to appreciate my English teacher for her help, for her love to studying and for her hard work. I'm sad that she went to home town. But we still have online connection. Also I want to to appreciate my foreign penpal for her kindness and nice sense of humor. She always replys me and is ready for a conversation. Thank you all!

My way in study English
I don't remember have I wrote about it or not, anyway I've been studying English during last 3 years. To be honest I've never had problems with English subject and had only a high rating. However I decided to study English more deeply only 3 years ago. And 1.5 of these years, I've been studying the language with a teacher.
During all this time I've accumulated a lot of materials for learning and practice. And now I want to share it with you.

Why I write it?
I've decided to write down this post for several reasons:

- I want to check my English level. Have I improved my English skill?
- Gather whole knowledge base that I've accumulated during my studying way and share it.
- Another writing practice exercise for me.
- Just my mind.

Let's start to share with you.

Mobile apps
I suppose all people at our time spend a lot of time in their smartphones. And if you want to knew something you use your smartphone. Isn't it? Well, here I recommend you several apps, that helped me and they continue do it.

Reverso Context - it's a more comfortable and accurate translator in my opinoin. Also I use it like verbs conjugation if I don't remember. It app has a quiz tool for extending your vocabulary but I've never used it.

Yandex translator - I think this translator is not so popular but it more comfortable for Russian beginner speakers. It's much better than Google translate. I've checked.

AnkiDroid - it's mobile version of a powerful tool Anki. If you sign in you can synchronize your flashcard decks from a computer desktop to a mobile app and back. To be honest I haven't understood all in app yet. But I use it sometimes for drilling new words.

Duolingo - I think this app doesn't need to be showing. Everyone know about Duolingo. And Duo know about everyone. For me it's just an everyday pill that helps keep a fit even if I'm very busy in a day. Now I have 865 days strike.

Dictionary - probably the most valuable dictionary what I found. Completely full explaining of any word with different meaning. At the home page of the app you can find out quote of the day, article of the day and many another interesting information.

HelloTalk - when I understood that I need someone who is native speaker I started looking for a special service. This one is more attractive for me because there I met my foreign friend with whom I'm still texting and calling. I recommend this app just for looking for penpal. Then if you find for match interest you can continue your conversation in other messangers.

Linga - it's just diamond among English book readers. Whole UI is comfortable and convenient. Besides their own library you can upload your books .fb2 and .epub formats. App helps you with translation everyone word and also if you pay for premium you can use gpt translation and explaining. Now I'm reading Harry Potter and philosopher's stone in original language. It the first book in original language without adaptive translation or something else that I'm reading

Puzzle Movie - my main app for listening practice. It's only one app that required paid subscription. It has a huge library of movies and serials. "Friends" is my favorite.

Websites
There are a lot of websites that can help you to improve your English skill. Here I show you which I use myself.

EnglishTag - sometimes there I do English tests at different levels. Simple site without anything special.

Test-english.com - another one site for testing your knowledge.

Cambridge Dictionary - maybe the first of all site with English grammar and dictionary. But for me makes more interest different blogs about something. I discovered it recently for myself. For example here post about "fruit idioms". There are a lot of other articles that can be pretty for you.

GoComics - by this site you can practice reading skill. There are many small interesting comics which help you by funny and cute way.

Genius - it's a nice site for those love listen and sing a song. Here you can find lyrics of your favorite song. It can helps to understand any word or extend your vocabulary.

These are all that I've collected while I've been studying English language. Probably you've already knew about something of these, but I hope it can helps anybody in their beginning.

In the end about my thoughts
It's my first huge post about my achivments in English language. I know that I had a lot of grammar mistakes and probably I use wrong words, but I try again and again. Because studying language it's not a sprint, it's a marathon. It'll take a lot of time yet.

I wish you be forbearing and diligent in your studying way.
