Hi khelwany,
For phrases, I use all the time Google Translate (in the bottom right section of lingQ dictionary) or Reverso. It’s not a always a perfect translation but it gives a good idea of the meaning. And we can save those phrases as well, for the vocabulary section.

You can also become a Plus or Premium member which will mean you will have a personal tutor who answer your questions.

I’m also struggling with the phrases too; what trips me up about language learning is not learning the new words but the new phrases! I think this is where a tutor or a fluent friend would be useful.

Papillon,

Do not be too impatient to understand everything. Some phrases will remain fuzzy even if you get them explained.

However, there is a Tutor button on the LingQ widget. Highlight a phrase, then ask your Tutor for an explanation. This question goes to the Tutor’s Forum. The answers will remain on the Lesson Forum for that item.

Read and listen more to get a feel for which words and expressions are used in certain situations. Good luck.

Thanks Steve, I think I do get impatient easily and it actually helps to have you point it out.

I also have a couple of students who make notes of all the hard phrases they meet, then they book a 15 minute one-on-one session with me just so I can explain all the phrases to them.
