Let`s start with resources that improve users` s skills in listening, speaking and pronunciation.  Professor Higgins multimedia soft ( http://fsm-portal.net/video_lessons/1119-professor-xiggins-anglijskij-bez-akcenta-versiya-61.html) definitely deserves attention as it offers a wide range of activities simultaneously. This program also provides a complete visualisation of learners` speech which helps them check their pronunciation themselves. 
We also can`t say that we know the language if we are not able to read  and, what is even more important, to understand various information in it. Anyone willing to improve his knowledge and skills in reading should refer to "Interlink language center" (http://eslus.com/LESSONS/READING/READ.HTM) which provides a wide range of texts on different topics and, in addition to this, tests which show the level of readers` comprehension.
Besides, we can`t form the languagy competency without grammar skills as it is the grammar that makes a listener understand your utterance. Many language learners consider the grammar as a very boring aspect of language, but modern resources break this stereotype. One of such a product is "Grammar Quizzes.com" (www.grammar-quizzes.com/) that offers it`s users numerous tests aiming at different grammar rules practicing. All the tests are followed with the the appropriate graphics which helps learners to form deeper associations.
Last but not the least aspect is the vocabulary. It is the one we can`t ever stop to improve and enrich. Even native speakers can always find some new word or phrase, not to say language learners. Little users would certainly enjoy learning new words with "The Internet Picture Dictionary" ( http://www.pdictionary.com/) as each word there is followed by a colourful picture that makes children easily remember new ones.
As for me as a student, I often use several programs and apps for language learning. The most convenient resources for me are https://www.britishcouncil.org/ and https://tophonetics.com/ru/. The first one offers a huge number of authentic texts that we usually use at our classes (for instance, the Practice of foreign communication), and the second one gives the opportunity to check how a word is pronounced (in british or american English) even if it is not included in a dictionary. This recourse can be usefull at any lesson, in particular, in phonetics.
To sum up, there is a wide choice of different apps and resources, so it is just up to the learner to find what suits personally him. One thing is definitely for sure - you should be involved in the process of your studying systematically. And don`t forget about paper books 😉 Good luck!
