• I don't know which is worse

  When you use the dictionary in English, as I tell to anyone learning English, the best dictionary is not a traditional dictionary, but is wiktionary.org, which itself includes the same definitions as the ones you've linked, but additionally contains "usage notes" that point out how rare and niche the archaic use of "America" to refer to a geographical continent is.

• What is the best translator for Russian?

  For single words just use a dictionary. wiktionary.org works most of the time and usually is very informative. Source: 12 months ago

• is there a website that shows detailed structure of the word like suffix, roots or case endings?

  Wiktionary.org is very good if you can read Finnish well enough. I don't expect English wiktionary to have a lot of content. Source: 12 months ago

• Is my English understandable?

  For words, it helps a lot to look them up on wiktionary.org or dictionary.com and read the IPA. For example, "complicated" is a word which stresses the 1st syllable, but you've put the stress on the 3rd. Generally, the stress stays on the same part of the word as the root word (COM-pli-cate), and adding -ed or -ing doesn't change it. e.g. MO-ti-vate, MO-tivating, MO-tivated. Source: about 1 year ago

• How can I get subtitles or some kind of translation into Spanish while I am teaching in English?

  Do you have access to Microsoft products? They have an appthat students can add to a device that will translate your spoken words into text (you have to have the app or website open as well). There are several other Microsoft translation tools that would also work in different ways, which you may be able to use without a Microsoft license. Google’s translation tools are not as well integrated. Source: over 1 year ago
