Learning vocabulary in context

0Hi everybody!!! 02br
02br
00As 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.02br
02br
00 I read somewhere that you have to come across a single word at least 01b007 times in different context02b00 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 01b00meaning02b00 of the word but with its 01b00usage02b00. 02br

01b00Google.com02b00 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.) 02br
