Could you recommend your reference English tools useful to improve your English every day?

I constantly use:

  • Howjsay for English pronunciation

Is this a duplicate of english.stackexchange.com/questions/1482/… ? – Ed Guiness Sep 9 '10 at 9:07
@Ed Actually I see it as a different question. I don't think a native English speaker is going to use a translator for example :) – systempuntoout Sep 9 '10 at 10:22

Google Translate is what I use when I'm learning Chinese-It has romanization of the characters so I can understand it. For languages like English, it would be harder since it's unnecessary for such systems.

Checking on http://www.dictionary.com everyday for the word of the day, marking it down and looking up the definition could definitely help you improve your vocabulary. One every day would mean 365 words in a year.
