Learning vocabulary in context
0 Hi everybody!!! 02 br

00 As you all well know learning vocabulary is one of the most strenuous tasks Elementary students have to face. What's more, Advanced students come upon the same problem as they pile up set of new words with each lesson. 02 br

00 I read somewhere that you have to come across a single word at least 01 b 00 7 times in different context 02 b 00 in order to properly get its meaning. Do you know a good link to a dictionary or other kind of source where you can type a word and get its usage in different context (like extracts from literary sources, etc.)? My concern is not with the 01 b 00 meaning 02 b 00 of the word but with its 01 b 00 usage 02 b 00 . 02 br

01 b 00 Google.com 02 b 00 is one of the possible decisions but, most of the times, when you search through the address bar you get a lot of name domains containing the word you're searching for, and have nothing to do with the usage of the word (i.e. names of firms, advertisement products, etc.) 02 br
