idioms!!! one of the most vexed areas to deal with when learning English!!
www.goenglish.com (http://www.goenglish.com) is the best site i have ever encountered on the web. It is clear, concise and simple. It give examples and pictures to clarify what the idiom means. Most importantly, idioms are used in daily life contexts.
example:
"better late (than never)"http://www.goenglish.com/GoEnglish_com_BetterLateThanNever.gif Better late than never means that it is better to do something late than to never do it at all. Example: "The movie has already started. Do you still want to go in?" Reply: "Sure. Better late than never!"
you also can search for certain idioms and i guess you can subscribe to get idioms in your inbox,; i will have to check for that!!
Hava fun!!
